This study is based on observations collected in an unmanaged forest plot covering 30ha, which was established in 2010. The first census of the plot was started in August 2010. We tagged and mapped all individual woody stems with DBH≥1 cm, identified each species, and measured all diameters at breast height (DBH) and heights. A second census was carried out in August 2015. The status of trees (dead or alive) and the DBH for trees alive were recorded. Individuals showing negative increment had to be discarded because the accuracy of the first measurement could not be assessed. We only considered individuals as focal trees which had been available at both censuses. Dead trees and recruits were excluded.
