Title: Stem anatomy of tropical dry forests seedlings Open Access Deposited

Attribute Value
Methodology
  • This dataset contains measurements of seedling wood anatomical traits of 65 species from tropical dry forests. Between two and six seedlings (i.e., 20-70 cm in height, and less than 1 cm in diameter) per species were collected in four mature dry forest in Colombia. Cross and tangential anatomical sections were cut using a rotary microtome. Sections were stained (AstraBlue + Safranine), dehydrated in ethanol series, dipped in solvent and mounted on slides. Photographs were taken at 10x, 40x and 100x magnification. All traits were measured using the ImageJ software.
Description
  • 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.
