forest stand dynamics of a short-stature tree species: ecological knowledge for sustainable forest management

This data set is a forest inventory of Nothofagus antarctica in southern Chile. More than 20 sites were selected. In each site, parallel transects were set and every 30 m a sampling point was set where the distance to the nearest four trees (in accordance with the cardinal points) were measured.

Methods
We used the quarter point method, where the distance to the nearest four trees according to cardinal points was measured.
