Data for functional traits and ecological niches as correlates of the interspecific growth-mortality trade-off among seedlings of 14 tropical tree species

The census_data consists of seedling records from the years 2010, 2013, and 2015 for 14 species. These records include species names, tags, heights for each species in these three years, and the status of the seedlings in 2013 and 2015 (A for alive, D for dead). Additionally, the trait_data and niche_data contain information on fifteen functional traits and fifteen ecological niches for each species, respectively.
