Methods

This dataset includes vegetation monitored in 10 plots of 0.5 ha size each. All tree individuals of 10 cm girth at breast height (gbh) were permanently tagged with sequentially numbered aluminium tags and their girth measured. The dataset includes GPS coordinate locations for each plot and the elevation in meters. The abundance currencies for the individuals of each species are numerical abundance(i.e. counts) and aboveground biomasses calculated from the plant girth in cm following (Réjou-Méchain et al., 2017). This vegetation was sampled in three years (2002, 2012 and 2022) in nine sites, and in two years (2002 and 2012) in the site Nadukani. These data were further analysed (Kershaw, 1973).
