Data from: Beyond shading: litter production by neighbours contributes to overyielding in tropical trees

Tree census dataThese data are yearly measurements of status, height and diameter on individual trees from the experimental plantation of the Sardinilla project. The Sardinilla project is a biodiversity experiment with tropical trees, that is a replacement series experiment with plots containing either 1, 3 or 6 species. The Sardinilla Project is part of Treedivnet (http://www.treedivnet.ugent.be) a global network of nine similar biodiversity tree plantations including boreal, temperate and tropical forest experiments. See: http://biology.mcgill.ca/faculty/potvin/sardinilla_obj.html. Data from years 2002 to 2006 are provided. Seedlings were planted in July 2001. Measurements were made late December (of the previous year indicated in the columns), in January or in February (of the year indicated in the columns). Metadata are included in a readme file and in a separate sheet in the xls file.data_2002_2006.xlsx
