Description

AGB-spiny-dry.txt:

The AGB-spiny-dry.txt file is a tab-separated data-set. It contains the raw data for tree aboveground biomass, tree height, tree diameter and tree wood specific gravity for the sampled trees in the spiny dry forest of Madagascar.

Column definitions:

  1. Tree: tree number
  2. Species: species scientific name (family, genus and species names refer to the Tropicos database (MBG, 2010))
  3. dAGB: tree dry aboveground biomass in kilogram (kg)
  4. D: tree diameter at 1.30 m height in centimeter (cm)
  5. H: total tree height in meter (m)
  6. rho: tree wood specific gravity (unitless)

Missing values are represented as “NA”.

Checksum values:

Column 3 (dry aboveground biomass - dAGB): SUM = 2073.2348083864; 0 missing values (rows with data: 132).
Column 4 (tree diameter at 1.30 m - D): SUM = 1044.7567084324; 0 missing values (rows with data: 132).
Column 5 (total tree height - H): SUM = 655.12; 0 missing values (rows with data: 132).
Column 6 (wood specific gravity - rho): SUM = 73.7203325995; 0 missing values (rows with data: 132).


AGB-moist-wet.txt:

The AGB-moist-wet.txt file is a tab-separated data-set. It contains the raw data for tree aboveground biomass, tree height, tree diameter and tree wood specific gravity for the sampled trees in the moist-wet forest of Madagascar.

Column definitions:

  1. Tree: tree number
  2. Species: species scientific name (family, genus and species names refer to the Tropicos database (MBG, 2010))
  3. dAGB: tree dry aboveground biomass in kilogram (kg)
  4. D: tree diameter at 1.30 m height in centimeter (cm)
  5. H: total tree height in meter (m)
  6. rho: tree wood specific gravity (unitless)

Missing values are represented as “NA”.

Checksum values:

Column 3 (dry aboveground biomass - dAGB): SUM = 107579.770384427; 0 missing values (rows with data: 336).
Column 4 (tree diameter at 1.30 m - D): SUM = 7077.398089172; 0 missing values (rows with data: 336).
Column 5 (total tree height - H): SUM = 4939.1; 0 missing values (rows with data: 336).
Column 6 (wood specific gravity - rho): SUM = 198.4641914636; 0 missing values (rows with data: 336).


H-D-spiny-dry.txt:

The H-D-spiny-dry.txt file is a tab-separated data-set. It contains the raw data for tree height and tree DBH in the spiny dry forest of Madagascar.

Column definitions:

  1. Tree: tree number
  2. Source: data origin (destructive sampling for biomass allometric models or plot inventory)
  3. Vname: vernacular name
  4. Species: species scientific name (family, genus and species names refer to the Tropicos database (MBG, 2010))
  5. D: tree diameter at 1.30 m height in centimeter (cm)
  6. H: total tree height in meter (m)

Missing values are represented as “NA”.

Checksum values:

Column 5 (tree diameter at 1.30 m - D): SUM = 1044.7567084324; 369 missing values (rows with data: 132).
Column 6 (total tree height - H): SUM = 2868.92; 0 missing values (rows with data: 501).


H-D-moist-wet.txt:

Missing values are represented as “NA”.

Checksum values:

Column 5 (tree diameter at 1.30 m - D): SUM = 22544.2377551619; 0 missing values (rows with data: 812).
Column 6 (total tree height - H): SUM = 13273.5; 0 missing values (rows with data: 812).
