Table 1 Forest structural attributes (trees with diameter >5 cm inside the 0.01 ha circular plots) for fuels deposition plots in old-growth Jeffrey pine-mixed conifer forests in Sierra San Pedro Mártir National Park, northwestern Mexico. GRAN = granitic site, META = metamorphic site, SD = standard deviation of the mean (n = 10).
