Data and metadata for Kulha et al.: Race to the canopy: the development of tree size hierarchies following a partial disturbance in a boreal old-growth forest. Canadian Journal of Forest Research.

The dataset contains the original field and tree ring width data used in the paper. Included are: <br> - <strong>tree_data.txt </strong>is a tab-delimited text file and<strong> </strong> contains field records for each tree in the dataset - <strong>tree_data_key.txt</strong> is a tab-delimited text file and briefly explains the variables in the tree_data.txt.-file - <strong>tree_ring_widths_stem_base.rwl</strong> contains tree ring measurements at the base of the stem. The measurements are in the so-called decadal (or tucson) format, readable e.g., with the functions provided in the dplR package for R (see also opendendro.org) - <strong>tree_ring_widths_13.rwl</strong> contains tree ring measurements at 1.3 m height. The measurements are in the so-called decadal (or tucson) format, readable e.g., with the functions provided in the dplR package for R (see also opendendro.org)
