title: SBE Seedling Matrix Plot Dataset

description: Description

This dataset covers a network of stations placed across the south block of the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment (SBE). Two stations were placed in 54 of the SBE plots spanning the range of monocultures, 4-species mixtures, 16-species mixtures and non-planted controls. The stations are a group of three plots placed in a T-formation between the planting lines of the SBE. Each plot in the station are 1 x 1 m where all seedlings were measured for height, diameter at base (5 cm above the soil) and diameter at breast height (1.3 m, if the seedling had sufficient height). Seedlings were identified to species or genus if possible. 

Data Access

The 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.

Notes for users

1. All diameter units are measured in millimeters (mm). We apologize for the wrong units (i.e., cm) shown in the dataset.

SBE Seedling Matrix Plot Dataset



Worksheet: SBE_seedling_matrix_data

Description: This dataset covers a network of stations placed across the south block of the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment (SBE) in July 2024. Two stations were placed ineach of 54 of the SBE plots spanning the range of monocultures, 4-species mixtures, 16-species mixtures (both line and enhanced climber removal) and non-planted controls. The stations are a group of three plots placed in a T-formation between the planting lines of the SBE. Each plot in the station are 1 x 1 m where all seedlings were measured for height, diameter at base (5 cm above the soil) and diameter at breast height (1.3 m, if the seedling had sufficient height). Seedlings were identified to species or genus if possible.

Taxonomic coverage

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.
