Biweekly fine litterfall in the 18 CARBONO Project plots, La Selva Biological Station, October 1997-October 2018

This publication presents the 21-year record of fine-litterfall (leaves, reproductive materials, twigs < 1 cm diameter) in the 18 plots of the CARBONO Project in the old-growth tropical rainforest at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.  The CARBONO Project (1997-2018) was a multidisciplinary long-term research program to quantify forest carbon cycling at the landscape scale in the old-growth upland forest. The dataset is complete and has been through extensive qa/qc based on internal checks and readbacks.
