All sites have continuous forest cover ranging from lowland Amazonian rainforest to upper montane cloud forest; the tree-line is situated at approximately 3500 m asl. Annual temperature decreases with increasing elevation along this transect, from 26-8 degrees Centigrade (oC). Annual precipitation ranges from 1700 to 3200 millemetres per year (mm yr-1). Soil water content has been reported to have no clear relationship with elevation, partly due to limited evapotranspiration and fog deposition within the cloud immersion zone (1500-3400 m asl). At each site, the organic layer was sampled from 5 sub-plots within established 1 hectare (ha) plots with the organic layer removed from a 40 x 40 centimetre (cm) area in each sub-plot. Soils were sealed in plastic bags, immediately transported to the laboratory, and stored at 4 oC for 6 weeks until used for experimentation and analysis.
