Abstract:
The 50 ha plot at Barro Colorado Island, Panama (utm: easting 625754, northing 1011569, zone 17), has 5 completed censuses: 1981-83, 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000. All trees >=10 mm dbh were tagged, measured, mapped and identified to species. The tab-delimited text files consist of a main census file with the location and diameter measurements, 5 multiple-stem files with the multiple stem measurements excluding the largest measurement which is in the main database, the species list, elevation data, and an MS Word file briefly explaining the fields in the main census file.
