ForC release prior to publication

ForC expands upon the previously published portion of this database, TropForC v1.0 (Anderson-Teixeira et al. 2016a, 2016b; v1.0), with the primary changes being (1) an expansion of the geographic scope from pantropical to global and (2) an approximately five-fold expansion in the number of records (from 3,568 to 17,505). Treatment of plots and their history was substantially improved by (1) generation of a new table, PLOTS, that gives basic plot information and summarizes and summarizes their history (derived from the HISTORY table, which was previously named PLOTHISTORY) and (2) cleanup and checking of the HISTORY table.

This release is the version that will be submitted for peer review. Upon publication, v2.0-alpha will become v2.0.
