Data from: Allometry and growth of eight tree taxa in United Kingdom woodlands

As part of a project to develop predictive ecosystem models of United
Kingdom woodlands we have collated data from two United Kingdom woodlands
- Wytham Woods and Alice Holt. Here we present data from 582 individual
trees of eight taxa in the form of summary variables relating to the
allometric relationships between trunk diameter, height, crown height,
crown radius and trunk radial growth rate to the tree’s light environment
and diameter at breast height. In addition the raw data files containing
the variables from which the summary data were obtained. Large sample
sizes with longitudinal data spanning 22 years make these datasets useful
for future studies concerned with the way trees change in size and shape
over their life-span.
