This dataset was used to generate all figures and statistical analyses for the associated publication, which is currently under review. It contains three main components:(1) data files,(2) source code, and(3) README documentation describing all variables and providing instructions for running the code. The dataset includes all processed secondary data required to reproduce the main and supplementary figures. Please download the latest version provided. In addition, the raw dataset comprises 22,824 individual trees sampled across 805 study sites worldwide. These data were compiled from published sources spanning the 1970s to the present and can be obtained from the following key references: Westfall, J. A. et al.
