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).
