Castillo-Diaz et al. 2021_Forest Ecology and Management.xlsx

Data from Castillo-Diaz et al. 2021 contains seed germination, seedling emergence, seedling establishment and seedling recruitment of eight Ficus species (four hemiepiphytic species and four non-hemiepiphytic species). Fresh mature syconia (i.e., fruits) were randomly collected from a minimum of five trees for each species in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces during 2018 and 2019. Seeds were submitted experimentally to environmental field conditions such as canopy light availability (gap versus non-gap), soil temperature, soil moisture and soil pH along an elevation gradient spanning from 400 m. a.s.l to 1850 m. a.s.l. in four subtropical forests in southern China.
