The data collected are measurements taken from 16 species of Dipterocarpaceae seedlings that were planted within the project site. These measurements largely comprise of the diameters at base and breast height of the main stems (in centimeters), the height of the main stem (in centimeters), densiometer readings to determine canopy openness, and the level of herbivory experienced by seedlings. Restrictions This data is only accessible via a data request to Michael O'Brien (mikey.j.obrien@gmail.com) and Andy Hector (andrew.hector@biology.ox.ac.uk).
