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个树种为期9年的开花与结实年际变化特征，结果显示不同树种以及不同年份间的开花、结实物候均存在显著差异。本数据集用于绘制第142页图5.19中的相关图表。

该样地为1963年设立的1.7公顷热带雨林样地。本次记录的热带雨林木本植物性状包括已标记并测绘的灌木与乔木物种的独立植株的体量指标（高度或胸径）。自1963年起，研究团队以1至6年为间隔开展周期性采样，本数据集描述了近40年间幼苗更新的纵向动态变化。本数据集是1963年由加州大学圣巴巴拉分校Joseph H. Connell教授发起的、针对拉明顿国家公园与戴维斯溪两处样地的植被数据采集项目的组成部分。康奈尔热带雨林样地网络完整计划所收集的相关数据集的概要信息，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest。
