Functional trait values, height and crown illumination index for each tree

This dataset gives the value of leaf functional traits (mean value for the three, or fewer, measured leaves), height and crown illumination index for 852 sapling trees belonging to 69 species of Costa Rican tropical dry forests

Environmental factors in successional tropical dry forests of Costa Rica

This dataset gives the values of environmental factors (micro-climate, soil physical and chemical properties, forest structure) of 12 plots in successional tropical dry forests of Costa Rica

Species codes

This file gives the list of species measured in a study of sapling in successional tropical dry forests of Costa Rica, their families, and the species code used in the dataset of functional traits
