Number of individuals and distribution of size classes in the
plot
Myrcia racemosa showed the highest number of individuals in all
size classes in the plot (n = 574), followed by M. brasiliensis(n = 192) and M. multiflora (n = 110, Appendix S2). Individuals
of all size classes of M. brasiliensis were well distributed in
the study plot. Small and medium trees of M. racemosa were
distributed as a decreasing gradient from flooded to drier areas (from
northwest to southeast of the plot), and large trees were distributed as
a decreasing gradient from North to South of the plot. All size classes
of M. multiflora occurred only in the West part of the plot
(Appendix S2).
