Data span both natural tropical forests and plantations and rainfall gradients from deciduous dry tropical forests to everwet tropical forests, and come from the following countries: Queensland, Australia; Costa Rica; Panama; Sulawesi, Indonesia; Venezuela; Ecuador; Brazil; French Guiana; Bolivia. Three CSV files are included: SA_headers.csv: description of variables in the two files below SA.csv: tree size (DBH or height) sapwood area SA_references.csv: citation, bibliographic reference, and DOI for the published references from which data were extracted
