SAFE seedling plot censuses (described in worksheet Censuses)
Description: In each of the 84 SAFE vegetation plot a 5 m x 5 m seedling plot was established in 2012. All tree and liana seedlings >= 50 cm height and <= 1 cm DBH were tagged mapped and identified. At the centre of the 5 m x 5 m plot a subplot of 2 m x 2 m was marked out where all seedlings >= 10 cm height were included. Censuses 1&2 in 2012 were carried out by Hamzah Bin Tangki (PhD thesis 2014); census 3 in 2015 was carried out by Michael Massam (MSc thesis 2015); census 4 in 2017 was carried out by Elizabeth Telford. Diameter was measured at 20 cm from ground. Height was measured for tree seedlings (not measured if stem was snapped). A number of stems are missing diameter and height records in earlier censuses but considered alive at those times based on information from census 4 -- these data rows are kept and NA values assigned. Species id were done by SAFE field botanists. 2017 recruits stems have less complete identification. 11 seedling plots were not measured due to disturbances, mainly logging road and landslide.

Germination count (described in worksheet Germination)
Description: At census 3 and 4, newly germinated seedlings were counted for the 2 m x 2 m seedling subplot. These were not tagged, mapped or identified.
Number of fields: 4
Number of data rows: 168
Fields:

Plot: SAFE project plot number (Field type: Location)
census: census number (Field type: ID)
count: count of newly germinated seedlings (Field type: Abundance)
remark: remark (Field type: Comments)

Seedling leaf traits (described in worksheet Leaf traits)
Description: At census 4, for each seedling in the plots which was deemed big enough, the fifth youngest leaf counting from the top shoot was collected. If damaged, the nearest alternative was taken Leaf petiole was removed and leaf was photographed while fresh. Fresh weight and oven dry weight were measured. Leaf area was calculated from photographs using ImageJ. These measurements were used to calculate seedling CSR trait values (Piece, S., et al. 2017 Functional Ecology)

Taxonomic coverage: All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. If a dataset uses a synonym, the accepted usage is shown followed by the dataset usage in brackets. Taxa that cannot be validated, including new species and other unknown taxa, morphospecies, functional groups and taxonomic levels not used in the GBIF backbone are shown in square brackets.
