Description

The data presented here were prepared for publication in form of a data paper. The dataset presents an update of the information in Didion M, Herold A, Vulovic Z, Nitzsche J, Stillhard J (2022) Datasets for deriving functions for the stem- and branchwood volume in the Swiss National Forest Inventory. EnviDat. doi:https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.358. The new dataset is based on an alternative, more accurate and comprehensive dataset, that was identified as the source of the dataset in Didion et al. 2022. It includes additional data, including newly digitized information. The dataset includes section-wise stem measurements on 40’349 felled individual trees and empirically derived coarse (diameter >= 7 cm) and fine branch volume of 27’297 and 18’980, respectively, individual trees. The data were collected between 1888 and 1974 across Switzerland covering a large topographic gradient and a diverse species range. The dataset has undergone quality controls and due to its origin from 768 plots of the Experimental Forest Management project long-term consistency is assured.
