Landform type mediates compositional change in a hurricane-disturbed sub-tropical forest

This data describes the species composition of trees over time in plots located within the Jardín Botánico and Bosque Estatal del Nuevo Milenio on the island of Puerto Rico.  The field sites were established in 1997 by Despiau Batista and the data collected in 1997 was used in Despiau Batista, 1997.  These field sites were revisited in 2005 with the new tree data being used by Lugo et al., 2005.  The species data from 1997 was compared to that of 2005 in Spicer et al., 2020 and the data included here are those used by Spicer et al.  The works of Despiau Batista (1997) and Lugo et al (2005) do not have associated DOI's.
