Some Attempts to Estimate Species Diversity and Population Density of Trees in Amazonian Forests
Abstract
1. Counts of trees with trunks more than 10 (or 20) cm. in diameter have been made on three 1-hectare (100 x 100 m.) plots in the vicinity of Belem, state of Pera, and at Tefe, state of Amazonas. The species were delimited with the assistance of native tree specialists, and whenever possible identified by vernacular as well as by scientific names. On the three plots 60, 87, and 79 species have been recorded among 564, 423, and 230 individuals, respectively. 2. Analysis of the data with the aid of PRESTON'S (6) "octave" method suggests that we have encountered probably no more than half the species which exist in the associations studied. Most of the rare, and some of the moderately common, species are missing on our plots. The population densities of many species of trees in the Amazonian Hylea are less than one individual per hectare.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
