BCI: Barro Colorado Island dataset

Description Source

Description

The 50-hectare plot at Barro Colorado Island, Panama, is a 1000 meter by 500 meter rectangle of forest inside of which all woody trees and shrubs with stems at least 1 cm in stem diameter have been censused. Every individual tree in the 50 hectares was permanently numbered with an aluminium tag in 1981/2, and every individual has been revisited six times since (in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010). In each census, every tree was measured, mapped and identified to species. Details of the census method are presented in Condit (Tropical forest census plots: Methods and results from Barro Colorado Island, Panama and a comparison with other plots; Springer-Verlag, 1998), and a description of the seven-census results in Condit, Chisholm, and Hubbell (Thirty years of forest census at Barro Colorado and the Importance of Immigration in maintaining diversity; PLoS ONE, 7:e49826, 2012).
