Data for 370 species in permuted community

Tree diameter data of 370 selected tree species in the Pasoh 50-ha plot in 1990 and 2000 census. In this data, species identity of each tree was shuffled to generate a fake, "permuted community". The provided dataset is a processed subset of the original dataset for our demographic analysis of tree size distribution and demography of tree species populations demonstrated in the main paper. Readers interested in using the data for purposes other than testing our analysis are advised to obtain the raw data of tree inventories of the Pasoh 50-ha plot from the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan, and the Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS), Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
