A theoretical total of 1 890 sampling subunits was expected. However, due to accessibility issues (rocks, bodies of water in the different sampling units and subunits, and need for entry permits from local communities), only a portion of the plots could be measured: 80 percent of the expected tree sampling units, 70 percent of understory plots, and 60 percent of leaf litter and soil samples.
