Litterfall and pollen data of three LWF beech plots

This dataset contains the parameters used in the statistical analyses for the manuscript SREP-19-40170-T, submitted in Scientific Reports. This study is part of the WSL Drought Initiative 2018 (C3 - Analysis of the beech litterfall of the drought year 2018). Data originate from the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme LWF (litterfall, soil matric potential, deposition (precipitation) and meteo (temperature)), and from the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss (pollen). Datafile: _LWF_beech_plots_litterfall_pollen.xlsx_ 1. Sheet _extreme_weather_: values used for analysis of weather conditions in strongest mast years compared to years with fruit abortion. 2. Sheet _weather_and_resource_allocation_: values used for analysis of weather impacts on mast occurrence and resource allocation models.
