Data set of resilience indices to drought and prescribed burning of Pinus nigra ssp. salzmannii and P. sylvestris L. trees

Data on resilience and resistance indices to drought and burning inferred from tree ring width and carbon 13 isotopes for burned and unburned <em>P. nigra</em> spp. <em>salzmannii</em> and <em>P. sylvestris </em>trees<em>.</em>The dataset contains two files: TreeGrowth.txt: Data on resilience and resistance indices to drought and prescribed burning as well as the ratio of latewood to earlywood. Indices are inferred from total tree-ring, earlywood, and latewood widths. Included variables: Idsite (factor): code to identify uniquely each locality. Two levels: Miravé (1) and Lloreda (2). Idplot (factor): code to identify uniquely burned plots. Four levels: Miravé-Fall (1), Mirave-Spring (2), Lloreda-Fall (3) and Lloreda-Spring (4). Treatment (factor): whether the plot was burned or not. Two levels: control or left unburned (C) or burned (B) BurningSeason (factor): season of the burn. Three levels: control or left unburned (C), fall burn (F) or spring burn (S) Sp (factor): species. Two levels: <em>Pinus sylvestris</em> (ps) or<em> Pinus nigra </em>(pn) TreeCode (numeric): code to identify trees in the field dbh (numeric): diameter at breast height (cm) c12 (numeric): competition index before burning rci15 (numeric): release from tree competition 2 years post-burning calculated as the difference between pre (CI12) and post-burning competition (CI15) indices relative to pre-burning levels bchmin (numeric): minimum bole scorch height (cm) bchmax (numeric): maximum bole scorch height (cm) whiteAshes (numeric): white ashes after burning (%, in 1m radius from tree center) Resistance (numeric): Average basal area increment (BAI) during the stress period (drought 2012 and prescribed burning 2013) divided by the average BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilTTR (numeric): Average total tree ring BAI of the two years after the stress period (2014 and 2015) divided by average total tree ring BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilTTR14 (numeric): Total tree ring BAI of the first year after the stress period (2014) divided by average total tree ring BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilTTR15 (numeric): Total tree ring BAI of the second year after the stress period (2015) divided by average total tree ring BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilEW (numeric): Average earlywood BAI of the two years after the stress period (2014 and 2015) divided by average earlywood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilEW14 (numeric): Earlywood BAI of the first year after the stress period (2014) divided by average earlywood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilEW15 (numeric): Earlywood BAI of the second year after the stress period (2015) divided by average earlywood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilLW (numeric): Average latewood BAI of the two years after the stress period (2014 and 2015) divided by average latewood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilLW14 (numeric): Latewood BAI of the first year after the stress period (2014) divided by average latewood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) resilLW15 (numeric): Latewood BAI of the second year after the stress period (2015) divided by average latewood BAI of the three years preceding the stress period (2009 to 2011) preLWEW (numeric): mean pre-stress ratio of latewood to earlywood calculated for the period 2006-2011 difLWEW (numeric): mean post-stress latewood:earlywood (2014-2015) minus mean pre-stress latewood:earlywood (2006-2011) d13c.txt: Early and late-wood carbon 13 isotope from 2011 to 2015 for <em>P. nigra</em> spp. <em>salzmannii</em> and <em>P. sylvestris</em> burned in spring and fall in year 2013 at two sites. Idsite (factor): code to identify uniquely each locality. Two levels: Miravé (1) and Lloreda (2). Sp (factor): species. Two levels: Pinus sylvestris (ps) or Pinus nigra (pn) BurningSeason (factor): season of the burn. Three levels: control or left unburned (C), fall (F) or spring (S) TreeCode (factor): code to identify trees in the field."Pool" means that a pool of 5 individuals was used to determine carbon 13 isotope. SeasonalGrowth (factor): seasonal wood growth. Two levels: earlywood (E) and latewood (L). year (numeric): calendar year. d13c (numeric): carbon 13 isotope<br>
