Description

Data from: Heritability of growth and leaf loss compensation in a long-lived tropical understorey palm, PLOS ONE.

Quantitative genetic data related to growth parameters and leaf loss compensation of 1402 Chamaedorea elegans seedlings. Data was collected in a greenhouse experiment performed at the Unifarm experimental facilities of Wageningen University between January 2013 and July 2014, in which a defoliation treatment was applied. Seeds were collected in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico. See PLOS ONE publication for more details.

The file contains a separate "read me" tab in which the meaning of the variable codes is explained.
