Table 2.

Floristic and structural metrics calculated from field inventory data for Dense Ombrophilous Forest (Dse), Open Ombrophilous Forest (Asc) and Semi-Deciduous Forest (Fse). The mean leaf area index (LAI), determined from Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), is indicated in the last column of the table.
