Data from: Evolutionary constraints on tree size and aboveground biomass in tropical dry forests

This dataset is the result of multiple field trips carried out between 2009 and 2016 by members of the Laboratory of Phytogeography and Evolutionary Ecology, Department of Forest Sciences, Federal University of Lavras, Brazil. Tree community and soil data were pooled into the two spreadsheets presented here: one containing the variables related to ecological dominance, tree size and soil preference on the genus level and the other containing the same variables on the species level. We used these data to run phylogenetic signal analyses as described in the main text of the paper.

本数据集由巴西拉夫拉斯联邦大学森林科学系植物地理学与进化生态学实验室的成员于2009年至2016年间开展的多次野外考察工作整理所得。研究团队将树木群落与土壤数据整合为两份本文所附的电子表格：其一收录属级水平下与生态优势度、树木大小及土壤偏好相关的变量，其二收录物种级水平下的同类变量。本团队使用上述数据开展了如论文正文所述的系统发育信号 (phylogenetic signal) 分析。
