These data were collected as part of the River Red Gum Ecological Thinning Trial.

River red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) recruitment data were collected in three 20 m x 20 m subplots within each 9 ha plot, six times over seven years. Data were collected for three types of recruits, as described below:

Germinants: Eucalyptus camaldulensis individuals which have recently germinated from seed with cotyledons still present.

Seedlings: Eucalyptus camaldulensis individuals that germinated from seed that are less than 1.37 metres in height and no longer have cotyledons.

Saplings: Eucalyptus camaldulensis individuals that germinated from seed and are greater than 1.37 metres in height with a diameter at breast height of less than 10 cm.

Further information is provided in the reference guide for the dataset.
