Wood density and bark thickness for 562 tree species from the Yasuni 50-ha Forest Dynamics Plot, Ecuador

The data include wood density and bark thickness for 562 tree species from the
Yasuni Biological Station focusing on species present in the Yasuni 50-ha
Forest Dynamics Plot. The Yasuni Biological Station is in the Yasuni National
Park and Biosphere Reserve, Ecuador. The Yasuni 50-ha plot is located at 0°41′
S latitude, 76°24′ W longitude. Elevation is approximately 300 m. Air
temperatures average 24.8 °C, annual rainfall averages 3100 mm, and the
minimum mean monthly rainfall is 152 mm (Hietz et al. 2013. Functional Ecology
27: 684–692). The Yasuni flora is hyper-diverse, with more than 1,100 tree
species recorded from the western 25-ha of the 50-ha plot (Valencia et al.
2004. Journal of Ecology 92: 214–229).

本数据集涵盖了来自亚苏尼生物站（Yasuni Biological Station）的562个树种的木材密度与树皮厚度数据，研究聚焦于亚苏尼50公顷森林动态样地内的现存物种。亚苏尼生物站位于厄瓜多尔的亚苏尼国家公园与生物圈保护区内。亚苏尼50公顷样地的地理坐标为南纬0°41′、西经76°24′，海拔约300米。该区域年平均气温24.8℃，年平均降雨量3100毫米，月均最低降雨量为152毫米（Hietz等，2013. Functional Ecology 27: 684–692）。亚苏尼地区植物区系具有极高的物种多样性，仅该50公顷样地的西部25公顷范围内就已记录到超过1100种树木（Valencia等，2004. Journal of Ecology 92: 214–229）。
