Mediterranean Tree Seedling Survival Under Canopy and Shrub Treatments in Lebanon

Survival data for six Mediterranean woody species across four census times. The dataset includes observations from three sites along a regional drought gradient in Lebanon under different canopy and shrub treatment combinations. It was authored by Andrea Maamary and last updated on May 16, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling seedling survival probability based on canopy and shrub presence.
• Analyzing the effects of a regional drought gradient on plant mortality.
• Comparing the stress response of six different woody species over time.
• Investigating the interaction between forest canopy gaps and shrub cover on regeneration.

Strengths

• Data is structured with specific treatment factors: Site, Tree_canopy, Shrub_canopy, and Plot ID.
• Includes survival observations for six distinct woody species across four time points.
• Covers three field sites representing a regional drought gradient, allowing for spatial climate analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 33.5 KB, indicating a limited observational scope.
