  • Description: Tree locations, tree size measurements, seed trap data, seed germination and seedling survival dataProject: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: The impact of logging on density-dependent predation and recruitment of dipterocarp seeds during a mast-fruiting yearXML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available hereFiles: This consists of 1 file: Pillay_R_et_al_Dryobalanops_lanceolata_AllData.xlsxPillay_R_et_al_Dryobalanops_lanceolata_AllData.xlsxThis file contains dataset metadata and 4 data tables:TreeSize (described in worksheet TreeSize)Description: Size measurements of experimental treesNumber of fields: 8Number of data rows: 13Fields: ftype: Forest Type (Field type: Categorical)tree.id: Unique ID of experimental trees (Field type: Location)Species: Species identity (Field type: Taxa)dbh_cm: Tree DBH (Field type: Numeric)measured_height_m: Measured tree height (Field type: Numeric)researcher_height_m: Researcher height (Field type: Numeric)height_m: Tree height (measured height + researcher height) (Field type: Numeric)crown_diameter_m: Tree crown diameter (Field type: Numeric)SeedfallTrapByDist (described in worksheet SeedfallTrapByDist)Description: Seed trap dataNumber of fields: 9Number of data rows: 312Fields: ftype: Forest Type (Field type: Categorical)tree.id: Unique ID of experimental trees (Field type: Location)Species: Species identity (Field type: Taxa)transect: Unique ID of transects around each experimental tree (Field type: ID)bearing: Transect compass bearing (Field type: Numeric)trap: Unique ID of seed traps along transects (Field type: ID)distance: Distance of seed trap along transect (Field type: Numeric)PC1: Principal Components Analysis variable used as a surrogate for tree size (Field type: Numeric)seeds: Total number of seeds that fell into each seed trap over the study period (Field type: Numeric)NaturalPlotsSingleRec-Seed (described in worksheet NaturalPlotsSingleRec-Seed)Description: Seed germination and seedling survival data in natural plotsNumber of fields: 23Number of data rows: 2069Fields: FTYPE: Forest Type (Field type: Categorical)TREE.ID: Unique ID of experimental trees (Field type: Location)Species: Species identity (Field type: Taxa)TRANSECT: Unique ID of transects around each experimental tree (Field type: ID)BEARING: Transect compass bearing (Field type: Numeric)PLOT: Unique ID of natural plots along transects (Field type: ID)DISTANCE: Distance of natural plot along transect (Field type: Numeric)SEED.ID.FIELD: Unique identification number assigned to each seed in the field (Field type: ID)SEED.ID.ANALYSES: For statistical analyses, a continuous numbering scheme was followed with respect to the unique identification number assiged to each seed. This facilitated calculating summary statistics and overall analyses.

Obtained from seed trap data (Field type: Numeric)TOTALDENS.SEEDTRAP: TOTAL.SEEDTRAP divided by the number of 1 sq.m. traps (24) to obtain average seed density around each focal tree (Field type: Numeric)CONSP.ALL: The total number of conspecific seeds surrounding a given seed in a natural plot (Field type: Numeric)CONSP.ALIVE: The number of conspecific seeds that were alive at a census and surrounding a given seed in a natural plot. This variable was used as a measure of local-scale (1 sq. m.) conspecific seed/seedling density in survival analyses (Field type: Numeric)AGENT.CATEGORY.MORTALITY: Mortality agents.
