Plant survival data of the Galápagos special services sites restoration

This dataset contains long-term monitoring records from ecological
restoration experiments conducted at degraded sites (Special Services
Sites) in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. Data were collected as part of
the Galapagos Verde 2050 (GV2050) program, which implements and evaluates
restoration techniques to enhance plant survival in arid and
human-disturbed environments such as quarries and former waste dumps. The
dataset comprises 19,964 records across 30 variables, including: Site and
location information: site name (Sitio.específico), island, altitude,
substrate type, and ecological zone. Taxonomic information: species,
genus, family, and common name of planted individuals. Treatment and
experimental design: restoration treatment applied (Tratamiento), project
and subproject identifiers, planting date, initial water amount, and
control codes. Monitoring data: monitoring ID, date, field personnel,
plant height, growth increments, growth rate, cumulative growth, fruit
counts, and survival status. Derived variables: number of monitoring days
since planting, total counts, and cumulative survival. The data span
2013–2024 and represent repeated measurements of planted individuals under
different restoration treatments. These data can be used to assess plant
survival, growth trajectories, and the effectiveness of restoration
interventions in challenging environments. File format: CSV
