Dataset about Mexico's forest diversity: Site locations of tree species, wood densities, and geographic database of forest-vegetation provinces

Résumé fourni par la source

A dataset about three topics is provided, as a follow-up to the article “Mexico's forest diversity: common tree species and proposed forest-vegetation provinces” by Ricker et al. (2022) [1]. Firstly, 6927 site locations are provided for 22,532 trees of 1452 species. Secondly, measurements of basic wood-densities are reported for 779 tree species, obtained from 5256 trunk-core samples from Mexico's national forest inventory, and ranging from 0.05 to 0.93 g/cm3. Third, the data and maps of the forest-vegetation provinces from [1] were updated with the new cartography of Mexico's vegetation and land use (base year 2018). The maps are available now in an adjusted presentation as a shapefile-set for ArcGIS, as well as project and image files.
