Data users are invited to cite this paper and the original paper(s) corresponding to the data they use (see "Reference" column in each dataset). We also encourage potential users to contact the data owners for collaboration.
These datasets are compiled empirical data on the damage caused by 11 cyclones occurring over the past 40 years, from 74 forest plots representing tropical regions worldwide. Damage are given at the tree (whether or not each tree has been uprooted or snapped) and at the plot level (number of uprooted or snapped trees in each plot).
MSW: Maximum sustained wind speed (m.s-1)
EXP: Topographical exposure to wind
DBH: Diameter at breast height (cm)
WD: Wood density (g.cm-3)
