This dataset (Andean_AGB.xlsx) has the data employed in the paper
entitled Old-growth Andean forests as globally important carbon sinks and
future carbon refuges. The data was compiled as the results of the work of
several research teams spread out across the Andean region. The
information available here has data about aboveground carbon stocks and
dynamics and the main explanatory variables, such as climate and symbiotic
root associations.
The dataset comes from forest permanent plots that were surveyed by
different research teams across the Andean region. Plot size varied from
0.32 to 1.28 ha, with a cumulative sample area of 104.4 ha. In each plot,
we tagged, mapped, measured, and collected vouchers of all trees and palms
with stem diameter at breast height (DBH, 1.3 m) ≥ 10 cm. DBH was measured
50 cm above buttresses or aerial roots when present (where the stem was
cylindrical). During the second or subsequent set of censuses, DBH growth,
recruitment, and mortality were recorded. In cases where the recorded DBH
growth of the second census was less than -0.1 cm y-1 or greater than 7.5
cm y-1, the DBH of the second census was augmented/reduced in order to
match these minimum/maximum values. To homogenize and validate species
names of palms and trees recorded in each country and plot, we submitted
the combined list from all plots to the Taxonomic Name Resolution Service
(TNRS; http://tnrs.iplantcollaborative.org/) version 3.0. Any species with
an unassigned TNRS accepted name or with a taxonomic status of ‘no
opinion’, ‘illegitimate’, or ‘invalid’ was manually reviewed. Families and
genera were changed in accordance with the new species names. If a full
species name was not provided or could not be found, the genus and/or
family name from the original file was retained.
