For each quadrat, the following structure parameters were calculated: canopy height (average height of the five tallest individuals, in m), total live basal area (m2 ha1), live basal area for each species (m2 ha1), live trunk density (number of live trunks ha1), live trunk density for each species (indiv ha1) and mean diameter (cm). The voucher speci- mens were deposited at the Alexandre Leal Costa Herbarium of Universidade Federal da Bahia.
