Forest survey of species richness and basal area for two tidal forest plots at GCE 11 on the Altamaha River in Southeast Georgia in December 2013

We established two 0.1-ha plots in the Site 11 tidal forest in December 2013 to monitor forest composition. In each plot, we identified the species and measured DBH (diameter at breast height) of every tree using standard diameter tapes. We also used the DBH measurements to calculate the basal area of each tree.
