The timing and quantity of fruit production are major determinants of the functioning of a forest community, but both components are rarely taken into account simultaneously. We aimed at determining fruiting variability ...

This study evaluated how interspecific variation in diameter distributions relates to their growth–diameter and mortality–diameter curves and to population growth rates, using 25 y of demographic data from the 50-ha Barro ...
This seed production dataset contains information on total yearly seed captures and estimates of total reproductive basal area and seed production per mm2 basal area for 38 tree species from Barro Colorado Island, Panama. ...

All woody seedlings (with no lower size threshold) were censused annually in 600 1-m2 seedling plots from 1994 through 2011. These plots are located 2 m from three sides of each of the 200 0.5-m2 seed traps (Wright et al. ...
Stable isotope analysis of slow-growing, metabolically inert tissues is a common method to investigate foraging ecology in migratory animals, as direct observations of feeding are often not possible. Using tissue growth ...
A precise census of canopy density was carried out across the Barro Colorado 50 ha tree census, recording vegetation density in several vertical layers at a horizontal scale of 5 m. The census was done annually in 23 years ...
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 ...
Detailed documentation of the CTFS MySQL database for handling data from repeated measurements of forest census plots is available to the public at this SI Library web site. This supports the published article cited below, ...
Woody plant species with free-standing stems >=1 cm diameter were surveyed at 72 locations near the Panama Canal, spanning geological formations and a rainfall gradient. Patterns of tree species distribution relating to ...
The 50 ha plot at Barro Colorado Island, Panama (utm: easting 625754, northing 1011569, zone 17), has 6 completed censuses: 1981-83, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005. All trees >=10 mm dbh were tagged, measured, mapped and ...
