Acaena observational reproductive output

area, plant identit, shoot identity, number of reproductive shoots per area, individual mean fruit mass, number of fruits per shoot, and total fruit mass per shoot of the cushion plant Acaena integerrima in presence and absence of the species Embothrium coccineu

Microenvironment has little effect on the litter decomposition rate of temperate trees

Remaining total and ash-free dry mass, nitrogen (N) content, phosphorus (P) content, and carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of the litter of eight tree species in the Arboretum of the Universidad Austral de Chile, expressed as % of the initial content. Initial values correspond to winter time (0). Harvests were performed in spring (4), summer (7) and autumn (9). Constants of decay are estimated.</p

Growth and carbohydrates in temperate and Mediterranean treelines

The file contains two sheets: 1. NSC shows total soluble carbohydrate, starch, and non structural carbohydrates concentrations per mass unit (col I, J, K, respectively) and per volume unit (N, O, P, respectively) in three tissues (col D, new developing twings, stem sapwood, and branches) in early summer and early autumn (col E, spring and autumn, respectively) 6-8 adult trees of different species (lenga: Nothofagus pumilio, frangel: Kageneckia angustifolia, uncinata: Pinus uncinata, sylvestris: Pinus sylvestris) at three elevations (treeline, intermediate named as "inter", and closed or montane forest named as "low") of altitudinal gradients sampled in four locations of Chile (termas: Termas de Chillán, antillanca: Antillanca area within Puyehue National Park, castillo: Cerro Castillo Natural Reserve, in Patagonia, and farellones: Farellones in Central Chile) and Spain (pyrenees: Sierra de Cutas area in Spanish Central Pyrenees, and sierra: Sierra Nevada). First col indicates the climate for each location. 2. BAI refers to mean annual basal area increment of the last 10 years in 6-8 adult trees of different species (lenga: Nothofagus pumilio, frangel: Kageneckia angustifolia, uncinata: Pinus uncinata, sylvestris: Pinus sylvestris) at three elevations (treeline, intermediate named as "inter", and closed or montane forest named as "low") of altitudinal gradients sampled in four locations of Chile (termas: Termas de Chillán, antillanca: Antillanca area within Puyehue National Park, castillo: Cerro Castillo Natural Reserve, in Patagonia, and farellones: Farellones in Central Chile) and Spain (pyrenees: Sierra de Cutas area in Spanish Central Pyrenees, and sierra: Sierra Nevada). First col indicates the climate for each location

NSCdata_sources

This file lists the sources of all the individual datasets included in our final NSC database (”NSCdata_DRYAD.csv” file)

NSCdata

This database contains seasonal non-structural carbohydrates data (NSC; including total NSC, starch and soluble sugars) for terrestrial land plants (global scope), and it is based on a compilation of data from the literature. We selected only data that fulfilled the following criteria: (1) study duration was at least four months, (2) the same individuals or populations were measured at least three times spanning the length of the study, (3) plants were mature, (4) measurements were taken on leaves, stems, or belowground organs, (5) tissue was not bark, phloem or cortex, (6) values reported were total NSC, starch/fructans or soluble sugars, and (7) species were land plants (i.e., saltwater and freshwater species were not included)
