Diverging functional strategies but high sensitivity to an extreme drought in tropical dry forests: supporting data (Q6685211)

Extreme drought events have negative effects on forest diversity and functioning. Here, we presented a dataset of functional traits representing the hydraulic safety-efficiency trade-offs and investment in tissues of 338 tropical dry forest tree species, and a long-term biomass demographic data, which support the main strategies of these species in response to an extreme dry event in Northern South America.
