title: Tree-ring data of European beech with premature leaf discoloration in 2018 and beech with normal leaf fall

description: Tree-ring data and tree location from 470 European beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) located in the northern part of Switzerland. 278 trees showed drought-induced premature leaf discoloration and shedding in summer 2018 and 192 showed normal leaf fall. The trees were selected from the "1000-Beech-Project" published by Frei et al. 2022 and the data was analyzed in Neycken et al 2023 (in preparation). The corresponding crown data are archived in the EnviDat data portal https://doi.org/10.16904/envidat.422 (Frei et al. 2023). All other data generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
