Title: Elevational gradient along the Sonadora river, Puerto Rico: data on tree growth for six species Open Access Deposited

h
Attribute Value
Methodology
  • Tree growth was monitored over six broadly distributed and common tree species along an elevational gradient that ranges from 250 to 1000 m.a.s.l. Tree growth was calculated as the annual increment in diameter using dendrometers that were installed in 2013. This data contains growth information based on four time intervals: 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-2018. See related publication for full methods.
Description
  • The objective of this study was to examine the existence of congruent tree growth responses to different extreme climatic events –hurricanes and drought–affecting tropical wet forests.

Growth_dendros_data15-18.csv: This file contains tree growth data for adult individuals (diameter at breast height >7cm) of six species during four time intervals (2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, -2017-18) The trees are distributed along an elevational range from 250 to 1000 m.a.s.l. located in belts every 50 m in elevation. The description of the columns is below:

plot: refers to the elevation in m, ranges from 250 to 1000.

species: tree species. in total we collected data on six species: Cecropia schreberiana Miq subspecies schreberiana (Urticaceae), Cordia borinquensis Urb. (Boraginaceae), Dacryodes excelsa Vahl (Burseraceae), Henriettea squamulosa (Cogn.) Judd (Melastomataceae), Micropholis garciniifolia Pierre (Sapotaceae), and Sloanea berteroana Choisy ex DC (Elaeocarpaceae)

rgr15: tree relative growth rate during 2014-2015 (mm mm-1 year-1). Obtained from dendrometer data.

rgr16: tree relative growth rate during 2015-2016 (mm mm-1 year-1). Obtained from dendrometer data.

rgr17: tree relative growth rate during 2016-2017 (mm mm-1 year-1). Obtained from dendrometer data.

rgr18: tree relative growth rate during 2017-2018 (mm mm-1 year-1). Obtained from dendrometer data.
