Data used in "Recruitment, mortality and growth in semi-arid conifer-eucalypt forest: small trees insure against fire and drought"

Data used in paper entitled "Recruitment, mortality and growth in semi-arid conifer-eucalypt forest: small trees insure against fire and drought" published in Journal of Biogeography.

This dataset is a preliminary output created using Continuous Forest Inventory data from 1964 until 2019. For further details please contact the authors.
