Tree survival, diameter, growth, recruitment and climatic data, Northern Queensland, Australia

This dataset presents the demographic monitoring (growth and survival) of 81 tree species based on repeated stem measurement data from 20, 0.5 ha (100 m x 50 m) permanent moist forest plots in northern Queensland, Australia from 1971 to 2019, as well as four additional plots of 0.1 to 1 ha whose monitoring began in the 2000s. The plots have a rainfall range of 1200 to over 6000 mm, represent eleven vegetation types, six parent materials, and range from 15 m to 1500 m above sea level. Except for minor disturbances associated with selective logging on two plots, the plots were established in old growth forest and all plots have thereafter been protected. Plots were regularly censused and at each census the diameter at breast height (DBH) of all stems ≥10 cm DBH were recorded.
We only report the data for the 81 species studied in Bauman et al. 2022 (Nature), here.
We also provide the climatology of these plots as well as the temperature, vapour pressure deficit, and maximum climatological water deficit of all intervals separating consecutive censuses, as used in the analyses of Bauman et al. 2022.

本数据集基于澳大利亚昆士兰州北部20块0.5公顷（100m×50m）永久湿润森林样地1971年至2019年的重复茎干测量数据，以及4块始建于2000年代、面积介于0.1至1公顷的补充样地数据，呈现了81个树种的种群动态（生长与存活）监测结果。
该批样地的年降雨量范围为1200至6000毫米以上，涵盖11种植被类型与6种母质类型，海拔跨度为15米至1500米。
除两处样地受选择性采伐带来的轻微干扰外，所有样地均设置于原始老龄林中，且此后均受到严格保护。
样地定期开展普查，每次普查均记录所有胸径（diameter at breast height, DBH）≥10厘米的茎干的胸径数值。
本数据集仅收录Bauman等人2022年发表于《自然》（Nature）的研究中涉及的81个树种的数据。
此外，本数据集还提供了这些样地的气候学数据，以及相邻两次普查间隔时段的气温、水汽压亏缺（vapour pressure deficit）与最大气候学水分亏缺数据，所用数据与Bauman等人2022年的分析中采用的数据集一致。
