This data set is a forest inventory of Nothofagus antarctica in southern Chile. More than 20 sites were selected. In each site, parallel transects were set and every 30 m a sampling point was set where the distance to the nearest four trees (in accordance with the cardinal points) were measured.

Description of the data and file structure

variable name and description

STAND - or site, it is where the sampling was conducted; sites varied in terms of precipitation, from very-humid. humid, mesic, and dry

TRANSECT - a line draw within the stand

PLOT - it is the sampling unit; it is located within the transect

Q1SP - distance to tree species 1 (m)

Q1DBH - diameter at breast height (DBH, cm) of tree species 1

Q1HEIGHT - height (m) of tree species 1

Q2SP - distance to tree species 2 (m)

Q2DBH - diameter at breast height (DBH, cm) of tree species 2

Q2HEIGHT - height (m) of tree species 2

Q3SP - distance to tree species 3 (m)

Q3DBH - diameter at breast height (DBH, cm) of tree species 3

Q3HEIGHT - height (m) of tree species 3

Q4SP - distance to tree species 4 (m)

Q4DBH - diameter at breast height (DBH, cm) of tree species 4

Q4HEIGHT - height (m) of tree species 4

REG1 - number of seedlings of 0-20 cm height within a central 1 m2 plot

REG2 - number of seedlings of 20-50 cm height within a central 1 m2 plot
