Tree data set from forest inventories in north-eastern Siberia - Tree heights

The data set presents more than 32,000 of about 40,000 trees, which were surveyed during several Russian-German expeditions by the North-Eastern Federal University Yakutsk and the Alfred-Wegener-Institute Potsdam in the North-East of the Russian Federation between the years 2011 and 2021. The purpose was to gather information on trees and forests in this region, which was then used to understand tree line migration, stand infilling and natural disturbance and succession processes and to initialize and validate a forest model. Trees are located on more than 160 vegetation plots, each of which has a size of several hundred square meters. For every tree, height was estimated, and the species recorded, while a few individuals were subject to more detailed inventory. This table contains every standing tree of at least 40 cm height that was encountered on the vegetation plots described in the Plot Data Base. It partially overlaps with the dataset “Tree data set from forest inventories in north-eastern Siberia - Tree measurements.” (doi: 10.1594/PANGAEA.949861), which additionally contains details on small or lying deadwood.
