Priority effects will impede range shifts of temperate tree species into the boreal forest

Permanent Plots - Tree Species Codes This .csv file provides the code names used in the data files for the tree seedling recruitment, overstorey, and their common English names. abitibitrees, lebictrees, suttontrees These . csv files provide the overstorey (DBH>10.0cm) tree information for the three permanent plots included in the study: Abitibi-Temiscaminque (abitibitrees), Le Bic (lebictrees), Sutton (suttontrees). The following information are included: tree identification (ID), tree species (SP, four-letter code), diameter at breast height (DBH, 1.3m), basal area (BA), macroplot location (20m x 20m) (X and Y, in meters). abitibiregen, lebicregen, suttonregen These .csv files provide the tree recruitment (stages _1 and _2) count data for the three permanent plots included in the study: Abitibi-Temiscaminque (abitibiregen), Le Bic (lebicregen), Sutton (suttonregen). The following information are included: Year of collection (Year), recruitment plot location (1m2) (X and Y), seedling count data by stage (indicated by two-letter species code and seedling stage, e.g., BF_1, indicates the number of first year seedlings of balsam fir). abitibisubstrate, lebicsubstrate, suttonsubstrate These .csv files provide information on plot level substrate (% of plot coverage). The following information are included: recruitment plot location (1m2) (X and Y), grass coverage (%), decidous plant coverage (%), deciduous leaf coverage (%), conifer needle coverage (%), moss coverage (%), solid log coverage (hard, %), decayed log coverage (soft, %), rock coverage (%), sapling or overstorey canopy tree coverage (sap, %).
