title: Danum 50-Ha Compiled Seedling Growth Census 2018-2019

description: Description

SummaryThis dataset contains censuses of seedlings of all woody plants collected between 2018 and 2019 across 87 stations located on the ForestGEO 50-Ha Plot in the Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA). Seedlings are defined as woody plants >20 cm tall and <1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH at 1.3 m). Each station consisted of three 1 × 1 m quadrats, located 2 m from a central point in a T-shaped configuration at 5 m from the centre of the tree plot. The data that were collected includes the height of the seedling (in cm), the base diameter (in mm), and the diameter at breast height (in mm). Additionally, other variables such as the number of leaves present, mean canopy and gap cover (in fractions) were also collected.Data AccessThe dataset is only available upon the approval of Dr. Michael O'Brien (mikey.j.obrien@gmail.com) and Dr. David Burslem (d.burslem@abdn.ac.uk) under the expectation that all authors mentioned here are included as co-authors on any publications that use this dataset.Version 2.01. We have corrected 2 height measurements that were incorrectly entered.

This dataset contains data associated with taxa and these have been validated against appropriate taxonomic authority databases.

GBIF taxa details

The following taxa were validated against the GBIF backbone dataset (version 2023-08-28). If a dataset uses a synonym, the accepted usage is shown followed by the dataset usage in brackets. Taxa that cannot be validated, including new species and other unknown taxa, morphospecies, functional groups and taxonomic levels not used in the GBIF backbone are shown in square brackets.
