Functional Traits of 38 Tallest Tropical Trees in Borneo

2022 field campaign data includes 12 measurement points per tree for 25 hydraulic and wood anatomy traits. The dataset comprises measurements from 38 individual trees across five dipterocarp species, with tree heights ranging from 7.7 to 71 meters.

Use Cases

• Analyze variation in hydraulic traits across 12 measurement points per tree to understand vertical transport gradients.
• Model the relationship between tree height (7.7-71 m) and wood anatomy traits to assess drought vulnerability.
• Compare functional traits across five dipterocarp species from a single Borneo site for ecological studies.

Strengths

• Standardized methodologies were used for all 25 trait measurements.
• Data includes 12 spatially distinct measurement points per tree for detailed vertical profiling.
• Covers 38 individual trees across five species, providing intra- and inter-species comparison.

Limitations

• Sample size is limited to 38 trees from a single site in Borneo, limiting geographic generalizability.
• Data is from a single 2022 campaign, offering only a temporal snapshot without longitudinal tracking.
