چکیده
The data presented in this paper is supporting the research article "Life history traits predict the response to increased light among 33 tropical rainforest tree species" [3]. We show basic growth and survival data collected over the 6 years duration of the experiment, as well as data from traits inventories covering 12 tree traits collected prior to and after a canopy reduction treatment in 2013. Further, we also include canopy closure and forest light environment data from measurements with hemispherical photographs before and after the treatment.

Phylogenetic ecology applied to enrichment planting of tropical native tree species
Enrichment planting within established plantations or secondary forests is a common strategy to enhance forest recovery, given that later successional forest species tend to have low dispersal and limited recruitment into these sites. It is difficult, however, to predict how species of seedlings will perform when planted under different overstory species. The field of phylogenetic ecology offer...
متن کاملEffects of Sowing Methods on the Quality and Quantity Traits of Three Annual Medicago Species
ABSTRACT- Annual Medicago species (Medicago spp.) are native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in fields and pastures in Iran. There are several methods of sowing annual Medicago species, each with different effects on the performance. However, there is currently no sufficient information about the appropriate methods for sowing Medicago species. In order to evaluate methods of sowing...
متن کاملInvasive trees in Singapore: are they a threat to native forests?
Asian tropical forests are under extreme stress from clearance, fragmentation, and logging. Because Singapore suffered these same impacts in the 19 century, it can act as an early warning system for the region. We identified invasive exotic tree species from a comprehensive survey, assessed their survival and growth in the open and under a forest canopy, and compared their traits with native pi...

متن کاملInvasive Acer platanoides inhibits native sapling growth in forest understorey communities
1. Over three growing seasons, we tested how an invasive tree species ( Acer platanoides ) affected native plant growth in understorey communities of a suburban forest in central New Jersey, USA. We planted similar aged and sized saplings ( ≥ 0.25 m tall) into experimental plots identified with one of three treatments (0%, 25% and 50% of total stems are invasive species) and hypothesized native...
