[Dataset:] BCI 50 ha Plot 1982-1995 Census Data (version 1995)

The 50 ha plot at Barro Colorado Island, Panama (utm: easting 625754, northing 1011569, zone 17), completed 4 censuses: 1981-83, 1985, 1990, and 1995. 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, 4 multiple-stem files with the multiple stem measurements (including the largest measurement in the main database), the species list, and measurements of so-called "big" trees (i.e. trees with buttresses where the diameter was taken at a height higher than 1.3 m).
