Map of the Luquillo Experimental Forest in northeastern Puerto Rico, showing the major forest types. Key study locations in the LEF include El Verde Field Station (EVFS), Sabana Field Research Station (SFRS), Bisley Experimental Watersheds (BEW) in tabonuco forest (200 – 600 m elevation), and Pico del Este in elfin forest. The location of Long-Term Elevation Plots (LFTP) is shown in yellow; only those along the Sonadora transect arising from EVFS are currently routinely monitored, as are additional elevation gradient plots monitored by IITF, shown in green.
