Hubbell and R.B. Foster and is now managed by R. Condit, S. Lao, and R. Perez under the Center for Tropical Forest Science and the Smithsonian Tropical Research in Panama. Numerous organizations have provided funding, principally the U.S. National Science Foundation, and hundreds of field workers have contributed. The data used can be requested and generally granted at http://ctfs.si.edudatarequest. Kriged estimates for concentration of the soil nutrients were downloaded from http://ctfs.si.edu/webatlas/datasets/bci/soilmaps/BCIsoil.html.
