Traits from reciprocal transplanted seedlings of 6 species of Dipterocarpaceae

Description SummaryThe dataset consists of plant seedling functional traits and environmental covariates collected from 36 plots established in the Malua forest near the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment (SBE) study site. Physiological traits were only collected at 12 plots. Growth data was collected between 2016-2020 where censuses were conducted every 6 months (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13977; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.kkwh70s5m). Physiological and morphological trait data were collected between January and June of 2020. For detailed information on the trait variables collected, please refer to the publication associated with this dataset as well as the supporting info document attached here.Notes for users1.

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. - Plantae - - Tracheophyta - - - Magnoliopsida - - - - Malvales - - - - - Dipterocarpaceae - - - - - - Dryobalanops - - - - - - - Dryobalanops lanceolata - - - - - - Hopea - - - - - - - Hopea nervosa - - - - - - Parashorea - - - - - - - Parashorea malaanonan - - - - - - Shorea - - - - - - - Shorea johorensis - - - - - - - Shorea leprosula - - - - - - - Shorea parvifolia
