The forest structure data record tree identity, species, condition, canopy cover, stem and resprouting characteristics, as well as biometric variables such as perimeter, height, and diameter at breast height. Plot-level information includes elevation and tree identifiers. Microclimate data include soil moisture and temperature measured at three levels: underground, at ground level, and 30 cm above ground. These measurements provide fine-scale information on local environmental conditions within the forest. Data were collected during the 2023-2024 austral summer season using systematic field surveys and standard forestry instruments. The dataset is designed to support research into forest mortality and resilience in Mediterranean-type ecosystems, where climate stress and disturbance are key drivers of change. The resource was produced through collaboration between the University of Stirling (Scotland) and Universidad de O'Higgins (Chile), led by Prof. Alistair Jump, Dr. Sarah Greenwood, and Dr. Alejandro Venegas González." ; dcterms:provenance [ a dcterms:ProvenanceStatement ; rdfs:label "The dataset was generated through systematic field surveys conducted during the 2023-2024 austral summer in La Campana National Park, Chile. Data collection was carried out across 60 temporary forest plots, each covering 125 m², established to characterise forest structure and near-ground microclimatic conditions. Forest structure data were recorded for all trees with a minimum diameter at breast height (DBH) of 5 cm. Tree perimeter was measured in the field using diameter tapes, and DBH values were derived from perimeter measurements during data processing. Tree height was measured using a Haglöf Vertex 5 hypsometer. Additional variables collected included species identity, tree condition, canopy cover, stem characteristics, and resprouting status. Resprouting was recorded in the field and aggregated into a dedicated column within the dataset. Plot-level attributes, including elevation and tree identifiers, were also recorded. Microclimate data were collected using TOMST TMS dataloggers deployed within each plot. Sensors recorded soil moisture and temperature at three vertical positions: below ground, at ground level, and 30 cm above ground. Measurements were logged at 15-minute intervals, providing high-resolution temporal data on local microclimatic conditions. Following field collection, datasets were compiled and standardised into consistent units (C°) and formats. Diameter values were calculated from measured perimeters. Data cleaning procedures were applied to remove void entries and obvious outliers resulting from recording or sensor errors. Basic consistency checks were performed to ensure logical ranges and internal coherence across variables. Formal calibration of instruments was not undertaken prior to field deployment. Measurements reflect standard forestry field practices. The data represent a single-season snapshot and are therefore limited in their ability to capture interannual variability. The absence of formal sensor calibration may introduce minor systematic measurement uncertainty in microclimate variables. Visual or instrument-based estimates (e.g. canopy cover and height) may also be subject to observer-related variability. Despite these limitations, the dataset provides robust, fine-scale information suitable for assessing forest structure, microclimate, and ecological resilience in Mediterranean-type ecosystems." ] ; dcterms:spatial [ a dcterms:Location ; dcat:bbox "POLYGON((-71.145 -32.985, -71.145 -32.95, -71.1 -32.95, -71.1 -32.985, -71.145 -32.985))"^^geo:wktLiteral ; ] ; dcterms:temporal [ a dcterms:PeriodOfTime ; dcat:startDate "2023-01-01"^^xsd:date ; dcat:endDate "2024-12-31"^^xsd:date ; ] ; dcat:contactPoint :23f751c8-11af-4991-8f37-a9baef1961eb_c0 ; dcterms:publisher ; dcterms:subject , , "Central Chile", , , "Forest mortality", , , , "tree mortality" ; prov:wasGeneratedBy ; a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:type dcmitype:Dataset ; dcterms:available "2026-05-28"^^xsd:date ; dcat:landingPage , ; dcterms:license ; dcterms:accessRights ; dcterms:theme , ; dcterms:creator , , , ; dcterms:language . :23f751c8-11af-4991-8f37-a9baef1961eb_c0 a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Paredes-Berríos, P." ; foaf:familyName "Paredes-Berríos" ; foaf:givenName "Pablo" ; vcard:hasEmail "pablo.paredesberrios@stir.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre" ; vcard:hasEmail "info@eidc.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Jump, A." ; foaf:familyName "Jump" ; foaf:givenName "Alistair" ; vcard:hasEmail "a.s.jump@stir.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Greenwood, S." ; foaf:familyName "Greenwood" ; foaf:givenName "Sarah" ; vcard:hasEmail "sarah.greenwood1@stir.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Venegas González, A." ; foaf:familyName "Venegas González" ; foaf:givenName "Alejandro" ; vcard:hasEmail "alejandro.venegas@uoh.cl" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Paredes Berríos, P." ; foaf:familyName "Paredes Berríos" ; foaf:givenName "Pablo" ; vcard:hasEmail "ptp1@stir.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Climate and climate change"; rdfs:label "Climate and climate change" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Biodiversity"; rdfs:label "Biodiversity" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "drought"; rdfs:label "drought" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "forest ecology"; rdfs:label "forest ecology" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Mediterranean climate"; rdfs:label "Mediterranean climate" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Mediterranean forest"; rdfs:label "Mediterranean forest" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Mediterranean wood"; rdfs:label "Mediterranean wood" . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "University of Stirling" . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "University of O'Higgins" . a prov:Activity ; rdfs:label "NERC Urgency Grant" .
