Dataset used for "Recruitment credit cannot compensate for extinction debt in a degraded dry Afromontane forest, northern Ethiopia"

The data is part of a large dataset collected by WeForest Ethiopia, a nonprofit organisation engaged in restoring degraded forests in different parts of Ethiopia. This is particularly data from Desa'a forest, a dry Afromontane forest in Tigray. This data presents the identity and number of mature woody plant species (individuals with >1.5 height), their DBH (diameter at breast height, 1.3 m) or DSH and height (diameter at stump height, 0.3 m) measured at 400 m2 and, the identity and number of regeneration of woody plants, height < 1.5 m, measured in 9m2 nested within the 400 m2 plot.

These data were used in a manuscript entitled "Recruitment credit cannot compensate for extinction debt in a degraded dry Afromontane forest, northern Ethiopia", submitted to the Journal of Vegetation Sciences and accepted for publication.
