This dataset encompasses a re-analysis of data from Horn et al. (2018) to determine regional tree growth and survival response to nitrogen and sulfur deposition across the United States. Tree responses are matched with additional climate (temperature, precipitation), edaphic (soil pH), deposition (N and S deposition), and biotic covariates (tree deciduousness and mycorrhizal association). A full list of datasets and R code are available in Appendix S3 in the forthcoming peer-reviewed publication.
