Data underlying article 'Mexican agricultural frontier communities differ in forest dynamics with consequences for conservation and restoration'

We quantified spatiotemporal forest dynamics in a recently colonized agricultural frontier in southern Mexico, and tested how temporal variation in climate, and cross-community variation in land ownership, land quality and accessibility affect forest disturbance, regrowth and secondary forest persistence. This dataset contains the data that underlies the analysis and outcomes of this study, described for each dataset below.

本研究对墨西哥南部一处新近拓殖的农业垦殖前沿地带的时空森林动态进行了量化分析，并检验了气候时间变异、土地所有权、土地质量与可达性的跨社区差异对森林干扰、森林更新及次生林存续的影响。本数据集收录了支撑本研究分析与研究结论的全部基础数据，各数据集的具体说明见下文。
