Publicly available dataset for " Both Cyclone-induced and convective storms drive disturbance patterns in European primary beech forests"

This dataset was used to test for impacts of cyclones and convective storms on windthrow in Central and Eastern Europe.
Forest inventory data was collected from beech forests in
Romania and Slovakia. Dendrochronological methods were used to core and
crossdate trees. Tree-ring growth patterns were used to reconstruct disturbance
in forests. Topographic exposure was calculated from DEMs. Longitude was
collected with a GPS. Number of severe CAPE and WSPD days were calculated from
Twentieth Century Reanalysis data Version 3.
