These data correspond to a sampling of woody species regenerating under Vachellia caven matorral in Chile, conducted during 2019. These include 69 species between trees, shrub and vines in 17 locations.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The 17 locations were sampled in one day each. All records were taken before 2019 rainfall events, to prevent seasonal regeneration.Sampling
Between 10 to 15 Vachellia caven trees (replicates) were selected in each location, and in all, we recorded the woody species regenerating. These include from seedlings, saplings to mature plant, under the whole area of the crown projection (canopy). For assessing differences in the plant communities regenerating, we also made the same procedure in a contrasting condition. For this, we selected 10 to 15 random outside areas in each location. Outside areas were close to the previous V. caven tree, around 20 m to avoid its shading effect. Each outside area corresponds to contrast for a given V. caven tree.Method steps
- All recorded species were identified in field or through photos for posterior identification in lab. We did not take samples of the identified species to avoid neglecting effects on the regeneration. All individuals regenerating were height measure and corresponding abundances per species/condition/replicate can be requested to the author.
