Height growth curves from satellite images and national forest inventory measurements for various tree species

Data corresponding to height growth curves from satellite images and national forest inventory measurements for various tree species. The heights are in meters and the ages in years. 'Growth_curve_NFI.csv' corresponds to French National Forest Inventory data (IGN - National Forest Inventory of France Raw Data, Annual Campaigns from 2005 onwards, IGN – Inventaire forestier national français, Accessed 1 June 2023) 'Growth_curve_EO.csv' gives the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentile of height per years. The tree height, age, and tree species information wee retried from satellite observations.
