This file contains dataset metadata and 3 data tables:

Site_information (described in worksheet Site_information)
Description: Information about the sites that were sampled
Number of fields: 14
Number of data rows: 21
Fields:

Plot_Name: SAFE Project plot code (Field type: location)
Subplot_Name: Subplot within vegetation plot. A = NW, B = NE, C = SW, D = SE (Field type: replicate)
Lattitude: Latitude of plot (Field type: numeric)
Longitude: Longitude of plot (Field type: numeric)
GPS_Accuracy: Accuracy of GPS measurements (Field type: numeric)
sampled.area: Proportion of plot that was surveyed. "Subplot" level refers to a 12.5 x 12.5 m2 surveyed within the 25 x 25 m2 vegetation plot. "25m2subset" refers to a 5 x 5 m2 subsetted survey area. "10m2subset" refers to a further subsetted survey area of 2 x 5 m2. "7/8plot" refers to a survey area of 7/8 of the 25 x 25 m2 vegetation plot. (Field type: categorical)
Survey.area: The area surveyed (Field type: numeric)
No.Individuals_sampled: Number of individuals observed in the sample plot (Field type: abundance)
No.Individuals_per_ha: Number of individuals observed per hectare (Field type: abundance)
Date: Date of survey (Field type: date)
Time: Time of day (Field type: time)
Collector_name: Names of data collectors (Field type: id)
Comments: Additional description of the surveyed area and/or any adjustments on survey area (Field type: comments)
Plot_photo: Link to photo of the plot; images are held on five.epicollect.net (Field type: id)

Plant_information (described in worksheet Plant_information)
Description: Plot data on Clidemia hirta, including abundance and phenology
Number of fields: 11
Number of data rows: 832
Fields:

Plot_name: SAFE Project plot code (Field type: location)
Plant_Number: Numbered replicates of plants within surveyed area (Field type: replicate)
Height: Height of the plant (Field type: numeric trait)
Diameter1: Diameter of the plant (Field type: numeric trait)
Diameter2: Diameter of the plant measured at right angles to Diameter1 (Field type: numeric trait)
Total_No.Fruit: Number of fruits (Field type: numeric trait)
No.Mature_Fruit: Number of mature fruits. Mature fruit defined by the purple coloration of the fruit (Field type: numeric trait)
No.Immature_Fruit: Number of immature fruit (Field type: numeric trait)
No.Flowers: Number of flowers (Field type: numeric trait)
IndividualorClump: Whether the plants were examined individually or as a clump (Field type: categorical)
No.Individuals: Number of stems assessed for phenology. In some cases we could not distinguish individual plants so reproductive output was assessed collectively for a group of individuals. Those rows therefore contains information combined from all these poorly distinguished individuals. (Field type: numeric trait)

Sugar_information (described in worksheet Sugar_information)
Description: Sugar content of fruits collected from plots
Number of fields: 12
Number of data rows: 15
Fields:

Site: SAFE Project plot code (Field type: location)
WithbowlWetWeight: Wet weight of the samples (Field type: numeric)
WithorWithoutBowlWet: Does WetWeight include weight of the bowl? (Field type: categorical)
WithbowlDryWeight: Dry weight of the samples (Field type: numeric)
WithorWithoutBowlDry: Does DryWeight include weight of the bowl? (Field type: categorical)
Bowlweight: Weight of the bowl (Field type: numeric)
BerryNumber: Number of individual fruits being weighed (Field type: numeric)
EndWetWeight: Wet weight of fruits after removing weight of bowl (Field type: numeric)
WaterCalculated: Volume of water needed to dilute the berry juice-water mixture into a ratio of juice:water = 2:3. (Field type: numeric)
Wateractual: Actual volume of water added for dilution (Field type: numeric)
Percentsugar: Sugar content of fruit (Field type: numeric trait)
sugarpergramoffruit: Sugar density per weight of fruit (Field type: numeric trait)
Date range: 2020-02-04 to 2020-02-11
Latitudinal extent: 4.6908 to 4.7300
Longitudinal extent: 117.5746 to 117.6515
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.
