Title: Growth, mortality, wood density, biomass data from BIONTE inventories in Manaus, Brazil

Abstract

BIONTE (BIOmass and NuTrient Experiment) is a selective logging experiment established at the Experimental Station of Tropical Forestry (EEST, aka “ZF2”) field research station in the mid 1980s in the central Amazon (Higuchi et al. 1997, Amaral et al. 2019). Led by the National Institute for Amazon Research (INPA) in Brazil, the project aimed at assessing the effects of logging intensity on forest dynamics and enabling the creation of a model of forest management for the Central Amazon. The experiment included three levels of increasing selective logging intensity and controls, with 1 hectare sample plots (12 total) located at the center of 4 hectare treatment plots. The site’s Köppen classification is tropical rainforest (Af), characterized by high temperatures and humidity, with mean annual temperatures around 27 ℃ and mean annual precipitation around 2200 mm of rain. The vegetation has a high floristic diversity, the soils of the region are poor in nutrients, and the topography is characterized by plateaus (where BIONTE is located), and also valley bottoms and slopes. The inventory (growth and mortality) and biomass data included here covers the 1990 to 2019 period, with wood density being averaged from existing datasets. This dataset includes a data file inmore » .csv file format and a .txt file, BIONTE_mortality-rates_headers.txt, that provides descriptions for the data file headers.« less
