Readme file for Dryad file: survival_germ_beech.csv Orman O, Adamus M, Szewczyk J.Regeneration processes on coarse woody debris in mixed forests: do tree germinants and seedlings have species-specific responses when grown on coarse woody debris? Journal of Ecology http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.j34hk The file was used to calculate the annual survival of beech germinants in different decay classes and on different species and forms of CWD (Tab. 4). Column metadata. wood_no: CWD fragment identifier decay_class: CWD fragment decay class (1-5) cwd_species: CWD species (beech, fir, spruce, unidentified conifer) site: plot identifier (one of two National Parks) cwd_area: area of CWD fragment in square meters cwd_diameter: diameter of stump or diameter at the thicker end of log in meters cwd_form: log or stump individual_no: germinant identifier seedl_species: germinant species - beech in this file year: year of census survival: 1 if the germinant survived first season of growth, 0 if not.
