Abstract

Eucalyptus plantations are a crucial global resource, offering raw materials for industries across five continents, including renewable energy sources, recyclable fibers, and eco-friendly wood products. To support sustainable management, ten wireless dendrometer and environmental sensor systems were deployed on Eucalyptus trees—six in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and four in Leiria, Portugal. These systems measure tree stem growth, air and soil conditions, and transmit data via LoRaWAN to a cloud-based platform (ThingSpeak), with local SD-card backups. Nine systems collect data at 6-minute intervals, while one collects at 11-minute intervals. This data is valuable for maintaining forest health and ensuring resource sustainability. EucXylo, a Research Chair funded by the Hans Merensky Legacy Foundation, focuses on the ecophysiology, growth, and wood formation in eucalypts. The dataset aids in developing models of tree growth and xylem production, offering high-resolution insights into Eucalyptus growth and environmental conditions.

南非和葡萄牙两种不同桉树属树种的树枝测量仪和环境参数测量数据集

桉树种植园是重要的全球资源，为五大洲的工业提供原材料，包括可再生能源、可回收纤维和环保木制品。为了支持可持续管理，我们在桉树上部署了十套无线树干测量仪和环境传感器系统，其中六套位于南非斯泰伦博斯，四套位于葡萄牙莱里亚。这些系统测量树干生长情况、空气和土壤条件，并通过 LoRaWAN 将数据传输到云平台（ThingSpeak），同时进行本地 SD 卡备份。九套系统以 6 分钟的间隔收集数据，一套系统以 11 分钟的间隔收集数据。这些数据对于维护森林健康和确保资源可持续性非常有价值。EucXylo 是由汉斯-梅伦斯基遗产基金会资助的研究教席，主要研究桉树的生态生理学、生长和木材形成。该数据集有助于开发树木生长和木质部生产模型，提供有关桉树生长和环境条件的高分辨率见解。

期刊介绍： Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
