Data describes mortality events in Guadua bamboo life cycles using Landsat Near Infrared (NIR, band 4), Shortwave Infrared 1 (SWIR1, band 5), and Shortwave Infrared 2 (SWIR 2) time series from 1984 to 2018:
• disturbanceDate: year of identified primary bamboo mortality event in the NIR/SWIR1/SWIR2 band
• disturbanceDateSecondary: year of identified secondary bamboo mortality event in the
NIR/SWIR1/SWIR2 band, if more than one event was detected in the 35-year time series
• disturbanceLength: duration of the identified primary bamboo mortality event in the NIR/SWIR1/SWIR2 band

All layers are saved as geotiff files in geographic coordinate system with an approximately 30 m spatial resolution.
