Abstract

This report contains the results of analyses conducted at the chemistry laboratory of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry in Puerto Rico from 1981 to 2000. The data set includes 109,177 plant analyses and 70,729 soil analyses. We report vegetation chemical data by plant part, species, life zone, soil order, geology, or parent material. Soil data are reported by depth, soil order, geology or parent material, and life zone. These data are summarized to facilitate interpretation and highlight the mean and range of values obtained.
