Connell Rainforest Plot Network: Tropical Rainforest Tree Demographic Data, Davies Creek Plot, Dinden National Park, Queensland, Australia, 2013

This rainforest tree data package comprises stand structure data for rainforest trees at the Davies Creek Plot in Dinden National Park, (25 km south west of Cairns), Queensland for 2013. This plot consists of one 1.7 hectare plot in tropical rainforest, established in 1963. Rainforest tree attributes recorded comprise the size (height or girth) of tagged and mapped, free-standing stems of shrub and tree species. Sampling has been undertaken at intervals of 1-6 years since 1963; this data package is from the most recent full re-census of the plot in October 2013, and essentially provides a snapshot of stand structure on the site. This data package forms part of the collection of vegetation data undertaken at plots situated in both Lamington National Park and Davies Creek initiated by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara) in 1963. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Connell Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest.

本雨林树木数据集涵盖2013年昆士兰州丹登国家公园（Dinden National Park）内戴维斯溪样地（Davies Creek Plot，距凯恩斯西南25公里）的雨林树木林分结构数据。该样地为1963年设立的热带雨林木样地，面积1.7公顷。本数据集记录的雨林树木属性包括经标记并测绘的直立灌木与乔木物种的独立茎干尺寸（高度或围长）。自1963年起，研究团队以1至6年为间隔开展周期性采样；本数据集源自2013年10月对该样地开展的最新一次全面复测，本质上呈现了该样地的林分结构快照。本数据集是1963年由加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（University of California, Santa Barbara）约瑟夫·H·康奈尔（Joseph H. Connell）教授发起的植被数据收集工作的一部分，该项目在拉明顿国家公园（Lamington National Park）与戴维斯溪两地均设有样地。康奈尔雨林样地网络（Connell Rainforest Plot Network）完整项目所涵盖的相关数据集概览，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest。
