Tree census and diameter increment in fertilised plots in the Central Amazon, 2017–2020
The dataset contains the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of trees > 10 cm along with botanical identification (family and species). Data were obtained via forest inventories, in annual campaigns (from 2017 to 2019) conducted in May, with exception of the first campaign, which was from June to November, due to the species identification activity. The research was conducted in a field site approximately 80 km north of Manaus, in the state of Amazonas, Brasil. The dendrometer dataset contains the distance in circumference (mm) from a window on the dendrometer band installed in the tree and measured with a digital caliper, where that distance changes when the trunk grows. Dendrometric bands data were collected from April 2018 to January 2020. Full details about this dataset can be found at

- Statement
- The forest inventory was conducted annually from 2017 to 2019. The first inventory (2017) took a longer time to be carried out (June- November), because it involved the botanical identification of the species. The second and third inventories were made only in May. The diameter was collected at 1.3 m above the ground with a diametric tape in trees with DBH > 10 cm. In some cases, the diameter was collected above that height because of the presence of buttresses or some deformity at that point. For quality control, the staff was trained before collection and the data were entered into the computer in the field, to avoid errors. The recruitment was the inclusion of new individuals who reached 10 cm of DBH, and tree mortality was also recorded. More precise growth measures and with a higher frequency of collection, are obtained by dendrometric bands, which were installed in 1299 trees. The measure contains the distance in circumference (mm) from a window on the dendrometer band measured with a digital caliper, where that distance changes when the trunk grows. We avoid collecting data during rain, because the instrument is sensitive to humidity. In 2018, the data were collected in April, June, July, August, September, October and November. In 2019, the data were collected in January, February, April, July and October and in 2020 the data were collected in January.
