• Soil water potential profile data for the 50ha ForestGEO plot, Barro Colorado Island, Panama. These are outputs from the E3SM Land Model (ELM) for several depths from 0-13 m, over 1990-2018, calibrated with long-term, local observations, from Chitra-Tarak et al. (2021) New Phytologist Hydraulically-vulnerable trees survive on deep-water access during droughts in a tropical forest.
• Tree growth, mortality and abundance data over 20 yrs for twelve dominant tree species of a seasonally dry tropical forest in Mudumalai National Park, India; together with 24 yrs long daily rainfall record for the same site from Chitra-Tarak et al. (2018) J of Ecology The roots of the drought: hydrology and water uptake strategies mediate forest-wide demographic response to precipitation.
