Sampling comments: "Tree diversity and distribution assessments were conducted between June and August 2012 in BNP. The park was divided into 79 (1 km × 1 km) grid cells... In each cell, a 250 m × 4 m belt transect with a north-east orientation was established... Measurements of girth at breast height (GBH, 1.37 m) were taken for all trees with GBH ≥ 10 cm"
