This dataset is part of a research project that aims to study how bark and wood traits shape species ecological strategies at the seedling stage in four tropical forests in Colombia. These forests are located in the municipalities of Jabiru (Tolima), Cotove (Antioquia), Colorados (Bolivar) and Tyrona (Magdalena). Detailed information on the location of these forests can be found in: https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.13659
This dataset is part of a research project that aims to study how functional traits shape species ecological strategies at the seedling stage in four tropical forests in Colombia. Nine traits related to storage (i.e., axial, radial and total parenchyma fractions), mechanics (i.e., wood density, fiber fractions and wall thickness) and hydraulics (i.e., vessel lumen diameter, vessel fractions, and pit size) were measured.
