Replication Data for: Summer drought exposure, stand structure, and soil properties jointly control the growth of European beech along a steep precipitation gradient in northern Germany

We investigated the drought sensitivity and response to recent climate warming of Europe's most important forest tree, European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), at 30 sites along a precipitation gradient that is only a few hundred kilometers short but very strong (<500–850 mm/year), corresponding to the main climatic distribution range of beech. We analysed which factors (local climate, soil, stand properties) influence tree growth sensitivity to climate. This dataset contains the replication data for the main analysis of the manuscript.
