forest stand dynamics of a short-stature tree species: ecological knowledge for sustainable forest management

This data set is a forest inventory of Nothofagus antarctica in southern Chile. More than 20 sites were selected. In each site, parallel transects were set and every 30 m a sampling point was set where the distance to the nearest four trees (in accordance with the cardinal points) were measured., We used the quarter point method, where the distance to the nearest four trees according to cardinal points was measured., , # Data from: forest stand dynamics of a short-stature tree species: ecological knowledge for sustainable forest management

This data set is a forest inventory of *Nothofagus antarctica* in southern Chile. More than 20 sites were selected. In each site, parallel transects were set and every 30 m a sampling point was set where the distance to the nearest four trees (in accordance with the cardinal points) were measured.

variable name and description

STAND - or site, it is where the sampling was conducted; sites varied in terms of precipitation, from very-humid. humid, mesic, and dry

TRANSECT - a line draw within the stand

PLOT - it is the sampling unit; it is located within the transect

Q1SP - distance to tree species 1 (m)
