HELIO_SP.CO v.2: Hierarchical, Entity-based and Landscape-level Information Observatory for mangrove SPecies in Colombia, version 2.

We updated the HELIO_SP.CO database (Hierarchical, Entity-based, Landscape-level Information Observatory for mangrove SPecies in Colombia) previously published in 2018, originally containing 102 mangrove inventory sites measured along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Colombia in the mid-1990s. Version 2 includes additional sites in San Andrés Island, part of the oceanic territory in the Caribbean (OC), and additional variables for all sites. The database comprises a latitudinal range from 1.4 to 12.6 N and a longitudinal range from 81.7 to 71.2 W. Sites are scattered along south-north and west-east gradients, and from rainy to dry/desert climates. The oceanic sites occur within a maritime climate, under moderate-intensity cyclonic activity. Finally, sites are also located under a variety of geomorphic settings and mangrove physiognomic types. Both longitudinal and latitudinal patterns are observed for the three most important species (Rhizophora species complex, Avicennia germinans and Laguncularia racemosa), and they might be influenced by a combination of climatic, biotic and disturbance regime drivers.

本研究对2018年发布的HELIO_SP.CO数据库（Hierarchical, Entity-based, Landscape-level Information Observatory for mangrove SPecies in Colombia，即哥伦比亚红树林物种层级化实体化景观级信息观测站）进行了更新。该数据库初始版本建成于20世纪90年代中期，包含沿哥伦比亚太平洋与加勒比海沿岸实地布设并实测的102处红树林清查样地。该数据库第二版新增了加勒比海海洋领地（OC）所属圣安德烈斯岛的样地，并为所有样地补充了观测变量。该数据库覆盖的纬度范围为北纬1.4°至12.6°，经度范围为西经81.7°至71.2°。样地沿南北、东西梯度分布，涵盖从湿润气候到干旱/荒漠气候的多种气候类型。海洋样地处于海洋性气候区，受中等强度气旋活动影响。此外，所有样地均分布于多样的地貌环境与红树林外貌类型中。三大优势物种——红树属物种复合群（Rhizophora species complex）、海榄雌（Avicennia germinans）以及拉贡木（Laguncularia racemosa）均呈现出显著的经度与纬度分布格局，其分布可能受到气候、生物与干扰制度多重因子的共同作用。
