Valuable initiatives are currently collecting global databases of important tree physiological parameters, which could be utilized within a plethora of relevant forest ecological and tree physiological research activities. The task at hand is to identify the “hotspots” of data platforms and the means to access and process the data, which is often not a straightforward task. Here we provide support for importing global, regional and site-specific data covering climatic, physiological and allometric measurements. Moreover, interactive data formatting and curation procedures are presented which enhance data cleaning efficiency and reproducibility. The examples include data products provided in tabular Excel, txt, image-type / raster and netCDF formats.
