Barro colorado plot data

The 50-hectare permanent tree plot was established in 1980 in the tropical moist forest of Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in Gatun Lake in central Panama. Censuses have been carried out in 1981-1983, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005. In each census, all free-standing woody stems at least 10 mm diameter at breast height were identified, tagged, and mapped. Over 350,000 individual trees have been censused over 25 years.
