Connell Rainforest Plot Network: Tropical Rainforest Tree Demographic Data, Davies Creek Plot, Dinden National Park, Queensland, Australia, 2017

This rainforest tree demographic data package comprises recruitment and mortality census data for rainforest trees Davies Creek Plot in Dinden National Park (25 km south west of Cairns), Queensland for 2017. This plot consists of one 1.7 hectare plot in tropical rainforest, established in 1963. Rainforest tree attributes recorded comprise the size (height or girth) of tagged and mapped, free-standing stems of shrub and tree species. Sampling has been undertaken at intervals of 1-6 years. The Davies Creek Plot was incorporated over an existing 0.4 ha plot established by the Queensland Department of Forestry in 1951 (Nicholson et al. 1988), so the central part of the Davies Creek Plot has records extending back more than a decade prior to 1963. This data package forms part of the collection of vegetation data undertaken at plots situated in both Lamington National Park and Davies Creek initiated by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara) in 1963. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Connell Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest.

本雨林树木种群统计数据集包含2017年昆士兰州丹登国家公园（凯恩斯西南25公里处）戴维斯溪样地（Davies Creek Plot）的雨林树木更新（recruitment）与死亡普查（mortality census）数据。该样地（plot）为1963年设立的1.7公顷热带雨林样地。本次记录的雨林树木属性包括已标记并测绘的灌木与乔木物种独立直立茎干的尺寸（高度或围度）。该样地的调查间隔为1至6年。戴维斯溪样地整合了1951年由昆士兰州林业厅设立的原有0.4公顷样地数据（Nicholson等，1988），因此该样地的中心区域可追溯至1963年之前十余年的观测记录。本数据集是1963年由加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉分校的约瑟夫·H·康奈尔教授发起的拉明顿国家公园与戴维斯溪样地植被数据收集项目的组成部分。康奈尔雨林样地网络完整项目所收集的相关数据集概要可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest。
