Abstract
Developing a long-term and large-scale study of a tropical forest requires careful consideration of the site and the personnel. In order for me to present general recommendations on these considerations, I first present the overall rationale for the CTFS network of large plots and explain how plot locations were chosen. Then I offer advice on where a large plot might be placed and how many people are needed to run it.
