Geographic variation of tree height of three pine species (Pinus nigra Arn., P. pinaster Aiton, and P. pinea L.) gathered from common gardens in Europe and North-Africa

Abstract

This datapaper collects individual georeferenced tree height data from Pinus nigraArn.,P. pinasterAiton, andP. pineaL. planted in common gardens in France, Germany, Morocco, and Spain. The data can be used to assess genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity with further applications in biogeography and forest management. The three datasets are available at 10.5281/zenodo.3250704(Vizcaíno-Palomar et al.2018a),10.5281/zenodo.3250698(Vizcaíno-Palomar et al.2018b), and10.5281/zenodo.3250707(Vizcaíno-Palomar et al. 2018c), and the associated metadata are available at https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/644682d3-78c6-4fcc-af26-b1a928be7b1b,https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/535b8ad0-9315-4d78-80bd-d0f6cbb9d0ceandhttps://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/4cc0d2f0-00a9-42c8-aa34-fbbc647e3eb9forP. nigra, P. pinasterandP. pinea, respectively.
