Abstract:

Fourteen closed-canopy dry forest sites in the Hawaiian Islands (four on Kaua'i, two on O'ahu, one on Moloka'i, three on Lanā‘i, one on Maui, and three on Hawai‘i) were selected and surveyed in 2004–2006 to assess their diversity and structure in relationship to climate, and to identify relationships with satellite vegetation indices. Field measurements of woody plant species at all sites followed Gentry (1988). ‘Gentry transects’ consist of belt transects totaling 1000 m2 (0.1 ha). Each sample consisted of 10 belt transects (2 m · 50 m) 10 m apart in which all woody plants greater than or equal to 2.5 cm diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) rooted in the sample area were identified (Gentry, 1988). We documented the floristic composition and quantified species richness, density, basal area, and canopy height for each site. Data were collected while S.P. was a graduate student at UCLA in the Department of Geography. There are 16 csv files in this data set that include a summary table, a locations table, and a separate table for each of the 14 sites. Each ‘site’ contains one 0.1ha plot.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Tropical dry forest sites representing the largest and most high quality fragments were selected based on having a closed canopy, low non-native species presence if possible, occurring in regions with 500-2000 mm mean annual rainfall, and a pronounced dry season. Plots were located away from roads and in protected or managed areas. Field measurements of woody plant species at all sites followed Gentry (1988). ‘Gentry transects’ consist of belt transects totaling 1000 m2 (0.1 ha). Each sample consisted of 10 belt transects (2 m · 50 m) 10 m apart in which all woody plants greater than or equal to 2.5 cm diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) rooted in the sample area were identified (Gentry, 1988). We quantified species richness, density (number of stems greater than or equal to 2.5 cm d.b.h.), basal area (m2 ha-1), and canopy height (tree height in 2 m cohorts) for each site.

Description:

Raw transect data (0.1 ha Gentry plots) for each site includes species abundance by transect and individual dbh and height for all stems greater than or equal to 2.5 cm, and can be provided on request but has not been cleaned.

Abbreviations:

ha = hectare

cm = centimeters

m = meters

dbh = diameter at breast height (1.5 m off the ground)
