This database comprises forest inventory data and environmental characteristics (climate and soil) from forest plots distributed throughout Catalonia. Based on long-term forest monitoring data (1989-1996) originally obtained from the Forest and Ecological Inventory of Catalonia (http://www.creaf.uab.es/iefc/), this dataset compiled data on biomass and elemental composition (nutrient concentration) of different aboveground organs (bark, branches, leaves, and woods) of individual tree species sampled in plots distributed throughout Catalonia. Additionally, for these plots (also from 1989 to 1996), data on soil chemical characteristics, climatic conditions, and canopy greenness (using the Enhanced Vegetation Index [EVI] as a proxy) were obtained using GIS and sensor tools. Therefore, this dataset provides interested users with an interesting and comprehensive ecological characterization of forests in the northern region of the Iberian Peninsula, which can complement their studies.

This dataset allows to assess the full outcomes of the phylogenetic signal computed by K and Lambda metrics for the foliar spectral profile (wavelengths: 400-2450 nm) of regenerating plants in Neotropical Forest Gaps in the Southern region of Brazil. The results of the phylogenetic signal tests are provided for reflected wavelengths treated by splice correction (untransformed) and normalized by the first derivative (transformed).
