Declining tree growth resilience mediates subsequent forest mortality in the US Mountain West

Data used for analyses in Cabon et <em>al</em>., Declining tree growth resilience mediates subsequent forest mortality in the US Mountain West, <strong>2023</strong>, Global Change Biology. We provide the raw and detrended ring width (RW and RWI columns of the rw.csv file) data as well as associated forest inventory metadata for each site, including tree level biometrics, forest structure and basal area mortality (metadata.csv). Plots and trees can be linked to the US Forest Inventory and Analysis public database. Climate data can be retrieved from gridded climate product based on fuzzed coordinates. Please find variable definitions in the file Definitions.xlsx.

本数据集用于Cabon等人于2023年发表在《全球变化生物学（Global Change Biology）》的论文《美国山地西部树木生长恢复力下降介导后续森林死亡》中的分析工作。我们提供了原始及去趋势年轮宽度数据（对应rw.csv文件中的RW与RWI列），同时附带各研究样地的森林调查元数据，涵盖树木个体生物测量特征、森林结构与断面积死亡率相关信息，元数据存储于metadata.csv文件。各研究样方与树木记录可关联至美国森林清查与分析（US Forest Inventory and Analysis）公共数据库。气候数据可基于经模糊化处理的坐标从格点化气候产品中获取。变量的详细定义详见Definitions.xlsx文件。
