The data for this paper have been provided in .csv format. Variable headings are provided in the first row of the dataset.

The variables are:
Tree 			- 	The unique identifier for each tree
bi_inf			- 	The binary liana infestation measure for each tree: a value of 1 indicates the tree has lianas in the crown, a value of 0 indicates the tree down not have lianas in the crown.
chm_lidar_mean		- 	The mean top of crown height (m) for each tree
gap_2m_25_100		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 2m in depth and 25-100m2 in area.
gap_2m_100_500		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 2m in depth and 100-500m2 in area.
gap_2m_ab500		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 2m in depth and >500m2 in area.
gap_2_5m_25_100		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 5m in depth and 25-100m2 in area.
gap_2_5m_100_500	-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 5m in depth and 100-500m2 in area.
gap_2_5m_ab500		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 5m in depth and >500m2 in area.
gap_5_10m_25_100	-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 10m in depth and 25-100m2 in area.
gap_5_10m_100_500	- 	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 10m in depth and 100-500m2 in area.
gap_5_10m_ab500		-	The distance of the target tree to the nearest canopy gap of 10m in depth and >500m2 in area.
copper_mean		-	The mean soil copper value (mg/kg) for each tree
ecec_mean		-	The mean soil effective cation exchange capacity (cmol/kg) for each tree
ph_mean			-	The mean soil pH value for each tree
phos_mean		-	The mean soil phosphorus value (mg/kg) for each tree
dist_infneigh		- 	The distance from the target tree to it's nearest neighboring tree with lianas in the crown
