Smithsonian Figshare. https://doi.org/10.25573/data.22779632 This online resource includes the following files: Metadata_BigPlots.rtf contains this information about the contents of this repository. BigPlots_SImethods.docx and BigPlots_SImethods.pdf present additional methodological details in .docx and .pdf formats, respectively. Both files contain the same information. BigPlots_SIfigures.docx and BigPlots_SIfigures.pdf present supplemental figures S1-S5 in .docx and .pdf formats, respectively. Both files contain the same information. BigPlots_SItable.docx and BigPlots_SItable.pdf present supplemental tables S1-S2 S5 in .docx and .pdf formats, respectively. Both files contain the same information. The three files in .r format provide the R code used for the analyses. They should be run in the following order: Figure_1.R, Census_data_calcs_and_Figure_3.R, and Figure_2.r. All other files are called as part of the analyses, and are referenced within the code. In addition, the analyses require files available in two other data repositories: the big plot tree census files available in Wright (2024), and two files of topography data, DEM_clipMCH.tif and Slope_sigma30.csv, available in Cushman et al. (2022). Cushman, K. C., H. C. Muller-Landau, M. Detto, and M. Garcia. 2022.
