Post-drought forest inventory and tree canopy health data, Rhӧn Biosphere Reserve, Germany, 2021
This dataset comprises forest inventory (diameter at breast height, tree height, social class and relative crown distance) and tree canopy health data (extent of overall damage, discolouration and defoliation) collected in 2021 from sites within core protected areas of the UNESCO Rhӧn Biosphere Reserve dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest. The study forests were subject to the extreme drought event that impacted central Europe in 2018/2019 and this project sought to collect data to enable the analysis of individual tree and stand level characteristics that influence the response (canopy damage and defoliation) of European beech trees to extreme drought events. Field assessments of individual tree and stand canopy health were carried out within this project collecting data comprising canopy condition assessments and measurements of individual tree size and stand demography. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/V00929X/1). Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/4df17a8f-9854-4b6e-8578-d99fbefb1352

-
Forest inventory data were measured alongside canopy condition following protocol set out in the International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests) Manual on methods and criteria for harmonized sampling, assessment, monitoring and analysis of the effects of air pollution on forests Part IV Visual Assessment of Crown Condition and Damaging Agents. The dataset provided here detailed the complete set of individual tree measurements as measured in the field for 38 sites using 10m fixed radius plots.
