Data and Supplementary Information : timber ressource dynamics in West African cocoa agroforestry systems

Here we present three datasets (growthDB.csv, heightDB.csv and volumeDB.csv) describing 23 tree species suitable for wood production in cocoa Agroforestry System (AFS) in Côte d'Ivoire (West Afica). Our dataset includes a total of 1,008 trees: 806 spontaneous and 202 (trans)planted. We provide three table (per datasets in .csv format) with the following column per tree: - gensp: species latin names - dbh : tree diameter at breast height (cm) - age: tree age (years) - origin: tree origin (spontaneous or (trans)planted) - WDmean : tree wood density (g.cm³) - clus: study sites - indsp : species index - indclus : sites index - hlog: tree bole height (m) - vol : tree bole volume (m³) We also provide, the STAN code (models.stan) to assess the wood production potential of trees in cocoa AFS: (i) a model describing the diameter growth trajectories of trees as a function of their age, (ii) a model evaluating the relationship between tree diameter and bole height, and (iii) a model assessing the commercial volume of trees as a function of their diameter and bole height. Finally, we present additional tables and figures in Supplementary Information.pdf.
