Dataset used for "Recruitment credit cannot compensate for extinction debt in a degraded dry Afromontane forest, northern Ethiopia"

The data is part of a large dataset collected by WeForest Ethiopia, a nonprofit organisation engaged in restoring degraded forests in different parts of Ethiopia. This is particularly data from Desa'a forest, a dry Afromontane forest in Tigray. This data presents the identity and number of mature woody plant species (individuals with >1.5 height), their DBH (diameter at breast height, 1.3 m) or DSH and height (diameter at stump height, 0.3 m) measured at 400 m² and, the identity and number of regeneration of woody plants, height < 1.5 m, measured in 9m² nested within the 400 m² plot. These data were used in a manuscript entitled "Recruitment credit cannot compensate for extinction debt in a degraded dry Afromontane forest, northern Ethiopia", submitted to the Journal of Vegetation Sciences and accepted for publication.
