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, <em>sensu stricto</em> 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.<strong>,</strong> 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 (<em>sensu stricto</em>) 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.
