Methods

In order to better understand how flooding and gap formation affect Amazonian rainforests I set up plots both in three major forest types that differed by flooding duration (referred to here as dry wet very wet) and in their respective gaps. Plots Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
