All woody seedlings (with no lower size threshold) were censused annually in 600 1-m2 seedling plots from 1994 through 2011. These plots are located 2 m from three sides of each of the 200 0.5-m2 seed traps (Wright et al. 2005). Species-specific mean seed to seedling establishment probabilities were calculated as the mean flux of newly recruited seedlings per year per m2 in seedling plots in years 1995 to 2011 (dataset 3 in Visser et al. (in press)) divided by the mean flux of seeds arriving per year per m2 in seed traps (dataset 2 in Visser et al. (in press)) for the corresponding fruiting years after accounting for germination delays (Wright et al. 2005).
