[Dataset:] How do size distributions relate to concurrently measured demographic rates? Evidence from over 150 tree species in Panama: Supporting Data

Abstract

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 Colorado Island plot. More specifically, this document presents the truncated Weibull fits to diameter distributions, the corresponding truncated Weibull parameters, the parameters of the growth-diameter and mortality-diameter curves and the population growth rates for Barro Colorado Island species included in the above mentioned study.
