Data From: Tropical tree height and crown allometries for the Barro Colorado Nature Monument, Panama: a comparison of alternative hierarchical models incorporating interspecific variation in relation to life history traits

This data package contains the supplemental tables presented in the published study:Martínez Cano, I., Muller-Landau, H. C., Wright, S. J., Bohlman, S. A., and Pacala, S. W.: Tropical tree height and crown allometries for the Barro Colorado Nature Monument, Panama: a comparison of alternative hierarchical models incorporating interspecific variation in relation to life history traits, Biogeosciences, 16, 847–862, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-16-847-2019.Please see also the Supplemental Information in PDF available at https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-16-847-2019-supplement.This supplement includes the following materials in more accessible, reusable formats:- Section S1. Extra tables and figures.- Table S1. Sources of field measurement data for tree heights and crown dimensions, methods, site of measurement and the number of data points.- Table S2. Parameter estimates (median and 90% posterior interval) for predicting tree height (meter) and crown area (square meter) from trunk diameter (centimeter) for 162 species.- Table S3. Parameter estimates for all the hierarchical models for tree height allometry.- Table S4. Parameter estimates for all the hierarchical models for crown area allometry.Tables that were reformatted from the original text are provided in two formats: a PDF to preserve their original appearance and a .csv or .txt for improved accessibility. The files with the following nomenclature "_wide" represents the table in wide format as a .csv or .txt (tab-delimited file).AcknowledgementsIMC was supported by the Carbon Mitigation Initiative at Princeton University. Data on tree morphology were collected as part of several projects and we gratefully acknowledge the contributions of P. Ramos, P. Villareal, S. Thomas, S. O’Brien, T. Spirio, and J. Dandois. The BCI forest dynamics research project was founded by S.P. Hubbell and R.B. Foster, sustained for many years by R. Condit, and is now managed by S. Davies, S. Lao, and R. Perez under the ForestGEO program of the Smithsonian Tropical Research in Panama. Numerous organizations have provided funding, principally the U.S. National Science Foundation, and hundreds of field workers have contributed.
