Evaluating effects of remote sensed neighborhood crowding indices and depth-to-water on tree height growth

Data set containing 4 386 trees of three different species (Picea glauca, Pinus contorta and Populus tremuloides). Based on UAV derived canopy height models and canopy surface models a set of four different neighborhood crowding indices and a depth-to-water index were calculated for each tree. Abbreviations: WS: White spruce; LP: Lodgepole pine; TA: Trembling aspen; hg_19: tree height in 2019; hg_21: tree height in 2021; mch: Mean canopy height; cc: canopy cover; ca; canopy above; canopy_angle: Canopy angle.
