Tree size and biomass measurements for 27 species in Mexican secondary tropical dry forests

We present a dataset on tree size and aboveground biomass for 303 trees representing 27 tropical dry forest species harvested along a chronosequence of secondary forests on the coast of Jalisco, Mexico. These data were previously used by Bojórquez et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118384) to develop and validate allometric models for estimating aboveground biomass in secondary tropical dry forests. We believe this dataset provides valuable information for constructing allometric models that can be applied to similar forests at broader spatial scales, including regional, national, and pantropical contexts.
