Note enter only one option based on tallest stratum. Categories in bold are general categories, only to be used if land cover type fits general category but differs from others within the section

Situation (Substrate)

In situ – substrate not transported (e.g. soil derived from rock of local environment, outcrop etc)

Colluvium – substrate transported to site by gravity (e.g. rock deposit at base of scree slope)

Alluvium – substrate transported to site by water (e.g. sediments along river terraces)

Aeolian – substrate transported to site by wind (e.g. sand dunes)

SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS 2

Table S1. Material, equipment and instruments and corresponding functions

Material, instrument or equipment item / Functions
GPS receiver / Mainly for referencing smallholdings and mapping of the woodlots
Laser Ace Hypsometer / Collection of data for diameter (large end and small end), log sections and branches, height, crown radius and distance of each tree with reference to the plot centre
Compass / Taking bearings of each sample tree in the plot with reference to the plot centre
Diameter tape / Mainly to collect DBH data and diameter at the tree base
Bark thickness gauge / Measuring the thickness of bark at least 10 cm below breast height of the tree
Digital camera / Mainly for photo documentation
Aluminium tags, set of letter and number punches, hammer and galvanised nails / To label trees and made from 28 gauge aluminium sheeting and cut into about 2 cm by 5 cm lengths
Spray paint / Used to record tree numbers on boles just above breast height facing always to the reference point.
Data sheets and miscellaneous materials / Data sheets were reproduced on substance 20 book paper (8.5 by 11 inch) using a photocopier
