Decomposition, topology, properties, and graphs of woody crown networks of 15 tree species of Cerrado vegetation

Data of decomposition, topology, properties, and the corresponding graphs of 15 adult tree species of Cerrado vegetation, sensu stricto physiognomy. The woody crown networks (WCN) representations in a bidimensional space were obtained by drawing followed the methodology described by Prado et al. (2020, Prado, C.H.B.A., Trovão, D.M.B.M., Souza, J.P., 2020. A network model for determining the woody crown's decomposition, topology, and properties. Journal of Theoretical Biology, v. 499, p. 110318. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2020.110318.). The branching regions were the nodes, and the woody crown segments connecting the nodes or merely emerging from them were the connectors. Those trees grew under natural conditions in a most common (sensu stricto) physiognomy of Cerrado vegetation, in a reservoir of 86 ha, located at 850 m above sea level in São Carlos city, São Paulo state, Brazil, at 21°58'- 22°00'S and 47°51'-47°52'W. Following the Köppen climatic classification, this region is between Aw and Cwa, a tropical climate with dry winter and wet summer. The rainy season occurs between October-March, and the dry season between April and September.
