Setting seedlings on the map: Trade-offs in demographic rates between ontogenetic size-classes in five tropical forests

--- Barro Colorado Island forest dynamics plot ---
bci_seedling_rates.csv = species-level mean growth and survival rates of seedlings < 20 cm tall
'species' - six letter species abbreviation
'growth_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual increase in height of seedlings < 20 cm height (in cm)
'survival_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual survival rate of seedlings < 20 cm height (ratio from zero to one)

--- Fushan forest dynamics plot ---
fushan_rates.csv = species-level mean annual seed numbers, growth and survival rates of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (dbh), and seedlings < 50 cm tall
'species' - six letter species abbreviation
'seeds_per_ha_year' - mean number of seeds per ha and year
'newly_emerging_seedlings' = mean number of newly emerging seedlings per ha and year
'growth_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual increase in height of seedlings < 20 cm height (in cm)
'survival_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual survival rate of seedlings < 20 cm height (ratio from zero to one)
'growth_20_to_50_cm' = mean annual increase in height of seedlings 20-50 cm height (in cm)
'survival_20_to_50_cm' = mean annual survival rate of seedlings 20-50 cm height (ratio from zero to one)
'growth_understory' = mean annual increase in dbh of trees ≥ 1 cm dbh in canopy layer = highest two layers (in mm)
'survival_understory' = mean annual survival of trees ≥ 1 cm dbh in canopy layer = highest two layers (ratio from zero to one)
'growth_overstory' = mean annual increase in dbh of trees ≥ 1 cm dbh in understory layer = lower than highest two layers (in mm)
'survival_overstory' = mean annual increase in dbh of trees ≥ 1 cm dbh in understory layer = lower than highest two layers (ration from zero to one)

--- Pasoh forest dynamics plot ---
pasoh_rates.csv = seed production and species-level growth and survival rates of seedlings < 50 cm tall
'species' - six letter species abbreviation
'seeds_per_ha_year' - mean number of seeds per ha and year
'newly_emerging_seedlings' = mean number of newly emerging seedlings per ha and year
'growth_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual increase in height of seedlings < 20 cm height (in cm)
'survival_0_to_20_cm' = mean annual survival rate of seedlings < 20 cm height (ratio from zero to one)
'growth_20_to_50_cm' = mean annual increase in height of seedlings 20-50 cm height (in cm)
'survival_20_to_50_cm' = mean annual survival rate of seedlings 20-50 cm height (ratio from zero to one)

--- Yasuní forest dynamics plot ---
yasuni_growth_above_1cm_dbh.csv = up to 200 growth observations (individual trees in different census intervals) per species and size class ≥ 1 cm dbh
'species' - six letter species abbreviation
'layer' - position of the individual tree in the "canopy" or "understory" layer
'dinc_per_year' = mean annual increase in dbh between two census intervals (in mm)

yasuni_survival_above_1cm_dbh.csv = up to 1,000 survival observations (individual trees in different census intervals) per species and size class ≥ 1 cm dbh
'species' - six letter species abbreviation
'layer' - position of the individual tree in the "canopy" or "understory" layer
'alive1_dead0' = status of the individual tree in the consecutive census (1 = alive, 0 = dead)
'time_span' = time span between the two consecutive censuses (in years)
