Field Notes (May 10, 2014)

These are notes for the day May 10, 2014

Task: Recensusing Saplings (counting leaves, taking missing hemi photos, measuring diameter and taking new pictures)
Location: Camino de Cruces (P24)
Assistants: Fredy
Weather: It started to rain hard at 2:30 when we were finishing up.
BCI Truck Status: I returned the BCI truck clean with pretty much the same amount of gas.
Paint Color: Blue

We found all the saplings in P24 except for two Virola. We did initial measurements for 4 new Virola to repalce the two we lost and to add a few new healthy individuals. Some of the Virola in this population seem a little bit sickly (very few leaves for their size). I wonder if I should add even more healthy individuals.

The Virola didn't seem as affected by the dry season (they lost a few leaves and put a few leaves back on). The Guarea have lost a significant number of October leaves... and have not put many new leaves on since January.

We paid $20 for the boat ride to Camino de Cruces, which I feel is obscene
