* Codes for characteristics of the tree species, separated by commas. 1st code is observed frequency in pasture (C = common, U = uncommon, R = rare, N = not seen, probably rare or non-existent). 2nd code is dispersal syndrome (A = animal, W = wind, E = explosive, WA = water, N = unknown abiotic). 3rd code is approximate seed size in mm. 4th code is type of forest found in (S = secondary, P = primary, PS = primary and secondary). For all codes nk = not known.

† Includes the two species Piper colonense and Piper hispidum, which I was not able to distinguish during the census of the active pasture.

‡ Includes the two species Cecropia insignis and Cecropia obtusifolia, which I was not able to distinguish during the census of the active pasture.
