Seedling surveys were conducted at the Samford-Peri-Urban site between 2012 - 2018. The identity and height of all seedlings were recorded along six transects.

Lineage
Seedling transects at the Samford Peri-Urban site commenced in 2012, however their locations relative to now permanent 20 m x 20 m subplot markers were difficult to identify based on previous measurements. Therefore, for data collected between 2014 - 2018, six new seedling transects approximating the original 2012 locations were established with individual plant positions marked by blue aluminium tags. Three 20 m x 1 m seedling transects were oriented 112° (transects 1 to 3) and three were oriented 292° (transects 4 to 6) within the core 1 ha plot running in an approximate west-to-east or east-to-west direction. A measuring tape was laid between designated 20 m x 20 m subplot markers indicating the length (20 m) of each individual transect. The width of each seedling transect (1 m) was measured to the south of the 20 m tape for transects 1 to 3, and to the north of the 20 m tape for transects 4 to 6. Pre-existing tags from 2012 were identified where possible and recorded. Seedling height, position (length and width coordinates), family, genus and species for all seedlings < 1.5 m and > 0.1 m within the designated transects were measured and recorded.
