Tree growth response to drought in pure and mixed stands of Scots pine and Norway spruce in Europe

This dataset compiles information for an analysis of resilience (resistance, recovery rate and recovery time) at individual-tree level using a network of tree-ring collections from 22 sites along a climatic gradient from central Europe to Scandinavia. We aimed to identify differences in growth following drought between Scots pine and Norway spruce, and between mixed and pure stands of both species. We also considered how environmental variables (climate, topography and site location) and tree characteristics influence them.
