Impact Of El Nino Drought On Seedling Dynamics

<b>Description: </b>Four SAFE seedling plot censuses including measurement after the 2015-16 El Nino drought and leaf trait data<b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <b>Resilience of Tropical Forest Ecosystem Processes to the Interactive Effects of El Nino and Forest Disturbance</b><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here<b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: Seedling_data_for_SAFE_upload_2_Aug_2018.xlsx<b>Seedling_data_for_SAFE_upload_2_Aug_2018.xlsx</b>This file contains dataset metadata and 3 data tables:<b>SAFE seedling plot censuses</b> (described in worksheet Censuses)Description: In each of the 84 SAFE vegetation plot a 5 m x 5 m seedling plot was established in 2012. All tree and liana seedlings &gt;= 50 cm height and &lt;= 1 cm DBH were tagged mapped and identified. At the centre of the 5 m x 5 m plot a subplot of 2 m x 2 m was marked out where all seedlings &gt;= 10 cm height were included. Censuses 1&amp;2 in 2012 were carried out by Hamzah Bin Tangki (PhD thesis 2014); census 3 in 2015 was carried out by Michael Massam (MSc thesis 2015); census 4 in 2017 was carried out by Elizabeth Telford. Diameter was measured at 20 cm from ground. Height was measured for tree seedlings (not measured if stem was snapped). A number of stems are missing diameter and height records in earlier censuses but considered alive at those times based on information from census 4 -- these data rows are kept and NA values assigned. Species id were done by SAFE field botanists. 2017 recruits stems have less complete identification. 11 seedling plots were not measured due to disturbances, mainly logging road and landslide.Number of fields: 12Number of data rows: 7376Fields: <b>census</b>: census number (Field type: ID)<b>Plot</b>: SAFE project plot number (Field type: Location)<b>tag</b>: seedling tag number (Field type: ID)<b>North</b>: coordinate within seedling plot: northing (Field type: Numeric)<b>East</b>: coordinate within seedling plot: easting (Field type: Numeric)<b>type</b>: growth form of seedling: tree or vine (liana) (Field type: Categorical)<b>species</b>: species (Field type: Taxa)<b>Da</b>: diameter measurement 1 (Field type: Numeric)<b>Db</b>: diameter measurement 2 (Field type: Numeric)<b>height</b>: seedling height (Field type: Numeric)<b>snapped</b>: stem snapped or not (Field type: Categorical)<b>remark</b>: remark (Field type: Comments)<b>Germination count</b> (described in worksheet Germination)Description: At census 3 and 4, newly germinated seedlings were counted for the 2 m x 2 m seedling subplot.

If damaged, the nearest alternative was taken Leaf petiole was removed and leaf was photographed while fresh. Fresh weight and oven dry weight were measured. Leaf area was calculated from photographs using ImageJ. These measurements were used to calculate seedling CSR trait values (Piece, S., et al. 2017 Functional Ecology)Number of fields: 5Number of data rows: 1072Fields: <b>Plot</b>: SAFE project plot number (Field type: Location)<b>tag</b>: seedling tag number (Field type: ID)<b>Fresh.Weight</b>: leaf fresh weight (Field type: Numeric)<b>Dry.Weight</b>: leaf dry weight (Field type: Numeric)<b>Leaf.Area</b>: leaf area (Field type: Numeric)<b>Date range: </b>2012-06-01 to 2017-12-31<b>Latitudinal extent: </b>4.6882 to 4.7714<b>Longitudinal extent: </b>116.9477 to 117.7028<b>Taxonomic coverage: </b><br> All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy.
