Tree survey in the tropical forest of Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia from 2016 to 2018

This study aimed to explore the vertical patterns of aboveground biomass and tree species diversity in the tropical forest of Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia. To achieve this goal, we used a combination of field surveys and drone technology to gather data on species diversity, tree height (H), and tree diameter at breast height (D). As all trees in the 6 ha plot were tagged and identified, we used the data to classify the taxonomy and calculate species diversity indices. In this dataset, 8,148 individuals of tree species belonging to 72 families are included. Observed D in 2016 and 2018 and estimated D in 2017 are also provided. This study is published as an open access paper in the Environmental Research: Ecology at https://doi.org/10.1088/2752-664X/acf9a9. Data derived from the study including estimated tree heights is provided at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7866644.本研究旨在探究马来西亚巴苏森林保护区（Pasoh Forest Reserve）热带森林的地上生物量与树木物种多样性的垂直分布格局。为达成研究目标，我们结合野外调查与无人机技术，采集了物种多样性、树高（H）以及胸径（D）相关数据。由于该6公顷样地内的所有树木均已完成标记与物种鉴定，我们利用采集所得数据开展分类学归类并计算物种多样性指数。本数据集包含隶属于72个科的8148株树木个体，同时提供了2016年与2018年的实测胸径数据，以及2017年的胸径估算值。本研究以开放获取论文形式发表于《Environmental Research: Ecology（环境研究：生态学）》，DOI链接为https://doi.org/10.1088/2752-664X/acf9a9。本研究衍生的数据集（含树木树高估算值）已存档于https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7866644。
