Tree parameters

Tree parameters (stem diameter, height and crown radii in eight cardinal directions) for 12 mangrove forest stands located along a soil salinity gradient within the mangrove forest of the Lagoon of La Mancha, located in the central Gulf Coast of Mexico. The data set was used to study the responses of tree crowns to asymmetric neighbourhood pressure and dominant wind direction. The data set was created in collaboration between The Institute of Ecology (INECOL, Mexico), and the Technische Universitaet Dresden (Dresden, Germany), under the scope of the Coastal Research Network for Environmental Change (CREC), financed by the European Commission.
