raw data for meta-analysis of Gibert et al

Dataset reporting correlation coefficients between growth and traits from 103 articles published between 1983 and 2014. In total, 551 correlations relations linking growth rate to any of a list of 19 traits across a range of ontogenetic were reported here. Data are variable in multiple ways. Climate zones spanned from temperate regions to tropics. Different experiment types (laboratory, field, plantation or greenhouse), growth measurements and growth form (tree, woody or across growth form) were included. The number of species used for each correlation ranged from 2 to 300 species, with an average of 31.
