Malaysian tropical heath forest growth and chemistry after fertilisation, 2016-2018

The dataset consists of tree diameter at breast height (DBH) of all trees > 1 cm DBH in 16 parcels of 15 m x 15 m in the tropical heath forest of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve (Sabah, Malaysia). Also included are the tropical heath forest trees’ leaf element concentration. Tree DBH has been measured three times, one before (2016) and two after (2017 and 2018) the experimental application of Nitrogen fertiliser and CaCO3 to the forest floor. The leaves were collected before (2016) and after (January 2017; July 2017; June 2018) the application of experimental nitrogen and CaCO3 fertilisation. The experimental setting consists of four replicate parcels for the control plots, four replicates for the Nitrogen treatment, four replicates for the CaCO3 treatment and four replicates the Nitrogen and CaCO3 treatments combined.

本数据集由位于马来西亚沙巴州卡比里-塞皮洛克森林保护区（Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve）热带稀树草原森林中16个15米x15米地块内的所有直径大于1厘米（DBH）树木的胸高直径（DBH）组成。此外，还包括热带稀树草原树木的叶片元素浓度。树木的DBH在施用氮肥和CaCO3于林地的实验前后分别测量了三次，即2016年一次，2017年和2018年各一次。实验树叶的采集分别在实验前（2016年）和实验后（2017年1月；2017年7月；2018年6月）进行。实验设置包括四个对照组地块的重复样本，四个氮处理重复样本，四个CaCO3处理重复样本以及四个氮和CaCO3处理结合的重复样本。关于本数据集的详细信息可在以下链接找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/d5ea9e2c-f053-4631-aead-a8a5557488c6
