Data_OuedraogoEtAl2017_Biotropica

We provide a zip file containing three txt files and one R script file used in the analyses presented in the article assessing the size at reproduction of 31 major timber species in central Africa. The ReproductiveSize_DATA.txt file contains the list of trees monitored for reproductive phenology in three central African countries (Cameroon, Congo, and Central African Republic) in 11 sites, with their species names, diameter, crown exposure index, and phenological status. The ReproductiveSize_TRAITS.txt file contains the list of the 31 studied species with their traits (regeneration guild, leaf habit, wood density, maximum diameter and height, dispersal mode, and maximum growth rate). The ReproductiveSize_MCDL.txt file contains the list of the 31 studied species with their minimum cutting diameter limits in the three studied contries. The ReproductiveSize_SCRIPT.r file contains the code used to perform the analyses and make the figures.
