Methods

This data is derived from individual tree surveys conducted in three long-term monitoring plots representing different successional stages. The data collection involved manual measurements. The plots were divided into 25 subplots of 10 m × 10 m each, using a total station, for the assessment of the tree layer. In addition, five subplots of 10 m × 10 m, located at the corners and center of each plot, were selected for the shrub layer assessment. Biomass of each species in different layers was obtained to calculate the overall biomass of the community. The biomass was determined based on the diameter at breast height/base diameter data collected during individual tree surveys. The individual biomass was summed within each plot, and the biomass per unit area (hectare) was calculated, expressed in kilograms per hectare (kg/ha). Abundance was reported as individuals per hectare (individuals/ha).
