Connell Rainforest Plot Network: Annual Variation in Flowering and Fruiting in Eight Species, Davies Creek Plot, Dinden National Park, Queensland, Australia, 1995–2003

This data package shows annual variation in flowering and fruiting over nine years for eight species of trees. These demonstrate that there is considerable variation in flowering and fruiting across both species and time. These data are used to produce the graphs found in figures 5.19 on page 142. 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, and this data package describes longitudinal variation in seedling recruitment over almost four decades. 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.

本数据集涵盖8个树种连续9年的开花与结实年际变化特征，分析结果表明不同树种以及不同年份间的开花结实情况均存在显著差异。本数据集可用于制作第142页图5.19中的相关图表。该研究样地为1963年设立的热带雨林样地，面积1.7公顷。本次记录的雨林树木属性包括已标记并测绘的独立直立灌木与乔木茎干的尺寸（高度或围度）。自1963年起，研究团队以1至6年为间隔开展采样工作，本数据集同时记录了近40年间幼苗更新的长期动态变化。本数据集是1963年由加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的约瑟夫·H·康奈尔教授发起的植被数据采集项目的组成部分，该项目的样地设于拉明顿国家公园（Lamington National Park）与戴维斯溪（Davies Creek）两处区域。康奈尔热带雨林样地网络完整项目所采集的相关数据集概览，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest。
