Tree size- drought response data from forests worldwide

This is a compilation of previously published data on drought responses of trees of different sizes from forests worldwide. Data file includes diameter size class, response variables (growth rate, mortality rate or mortality) during drought and non-drought periods, and the drought response ratios (drought: non-drought values) for growth and mortality rates

Mean annual tree diameter growth

Mean annual diameter growth from a 5 year census (2008-2013) for trees at SCBI

Sapflow

Sap flow measurements for trees at SCBI

Stem abundance

Count of stems within DBH class for trees at SCBI

Crown dimensions

Crown dimensions measurements for trees at SCBI, including height to base of crown, crown area, and crown volume

Tree heights

Height measurements for trees at SCBI

Sapwood

Sapwood measurements for trees at SCBI

Tree mortality rates

Mortality rates from a 5 year census (2008-2013) for trees at SCB

Bark depth

Bark thickness measurements for trees at SCBI

Diameter growth from dendrometer bands

Mean diameter growth measured using dendrometer bands for trees at SCBI
