Trunk taper measurements of 195 buttressed trees on the Barro Colorado Island 50-ha plot in 2013

This dataset contains measured taper data (taper_data.csv), fitted taper parameters for all measured trees (taper_parameters.csv), information about measured trees (tree_info.csv), and wood specific gravity values for trees in the BCI plot (wsg_data.csv) used in Cushman, K.C., Muller-Landau, H.C., Condit, R.S. and Hubbell, S.P. (2014), Improving estimates of biomass change in buttressed trees using tree taper models. Methods Ecol Evol, 5: 573-582. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12187
