1,303 georeferenced tree mortality sites compiled from the IUFRO Task Force on Tree Mortality Patterns. The dataset was sourced by author Yan Yuchao and is available via the Papers with Code platform under an Open Access (green) license.
Use Cases
- Mapping global tree mortality patterns based on georeferenced site locations.
- Analyzing spatial clustering of mortality events for ecological research.
- Training models to correlate environmental factors with tree mortality using site coordinates.
Strengths
- Contains 1,303 specific site records, providing a substantial sample for analysis.
- Data is georeferenced, enabling spatial analysis and mapping.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
Provenance
- Source
- IUFRO Task Force on Tree Mortality Patterns
- Collection Method
- Likely aggregated from research publications or field surveys.
- Geography
- Global (inferred from the international nature of the source task force)
