Above-ground biomass of Neotropical secondary forests database

This database is the product of the 2ndFOR collaborative research network on secondary forests. The database contains aboveground biomass data (in Mg/ha) for 1334 secondary forest plots differing in time since abandonment. The plots belong to different chonosequence studies in the Neotropics. For a description of the database, see Poorter et al. 2016. Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests. Nature doi:10.1038/nature16512
