Full census data for the Lang-Knight plot at Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The 1.5-ha plot supported forest that was approximately 90 years old when the first census took place in 1968 and approximately 135 years old when the fifth census took place in 2014. The metadata describes methods and defines all variables in the census data files.

The following publication describes changes in forest structure, dynamics, and composition for the Lang-Knight plot between 1968 and 2014 and provides further description of methods: Yavitt, J.
