Neighbourhood crowding, canopy closure and topography modulate size-dependent snag formation

This dataset contains the processed individual-tree data underlying the statistical analyses presented in the study “Neighbourhood crowding, canopy closure and topography modulate size-dependent snag formation.” Variables include tree identity, plot information, diameter at breast height (DBH), neighbourhood crowding index (NCI), canopy closure, topographic attributes (slope, convexity, and topographic wetness index), and snag status.

The dataset was used to investigate how neighbourhood crowding, canopy closure, and topographic conditions jointly influence size-dependent snag formation in Abies georgei forests.
