Climate data for 102 Fagus crenata study sites in northern Japan (supplemental to Dryad dataset DOI: 10.5061/dryad.7sqv9s54n)

This file provides WorldClim-derived average climate information for 102 Fagus crenata study sites in northern Japan, including 98 sites in the Tohoku region (Honshu) and 4 sites on the Oshima Peninsula (Hokkaido). Climate variables include annual mean temperature, mean temperature in the warmest and coldest quarters, annual precipitation, and precipitation in the warmest and coldest quarters, averaged over 1950–2000. Site-level temperatures were corrected for elevation using a lapse rate of 0.65°C per 100 m. This dataset is a supplement to the following Dryad data publication: Masaki T., Hoshizaki K., and Homma C.
