These data describe forest cover, forest persistence, and potential spatial covariates of forest persistence in southern Costa Rica from 1947-2014. data_EphemeralForests.csv contains the data for each forest. R_EphemeralForests.R contains the R code used to perform the analyses. LC_Final_ReidFaganSHARE_expWGS84.zip contains a shapefile with each forests's location and information about persistence (further metadata is included in the shapefile and so is not described here).
