Observation Narrative
On the original datasheets, Asimina triloba was subsampled at 5% for modules 2,3, and 8 in the saplings. Module 9 sub-sapling percent was left blank, so it was probably forgotten. We interpret this (Bob Peet, Forbes Boyle, Michael Lee) as 5m, not 5%, and have adjusted the subsampling for saplings to 50% instead of 5%. We find it unlikely that the 150% subsample for trees was correct, so we have adjusted this back to 100%, except for the R module, which we adjusted both trees and saplings from 5% to 50%.
