High resolution dendrometer records, Sirsi, Western Ghats, India 2020-2021

The growth data contribute to determine the diversity of growth strategies of trees in the region as well as growth responses to varying climate. The climate data accompany other datastreams including continuously recorded leaf temperatures (using thermistors and thermal imaging), soil moisture, low time resolution growth and a wide range of hydraulic, thermal and photosynthesis traits for a representative set of species of the region. Tropical forest high resolution growth data measured as part of an effort to understand sensitivity of Western Ghats tropical forest trees to high temperatures and dry conditions.
