[This dataset is embargoed until May 1, 2025]. The data were collected between 2017 and 2020 from 27 forest monitoring plots (0.5 ha each) in five locations along an altitudinal (lowland, mid-elevation, and highland forests) and forest perturbation (low, medium, and high perturbation levels) gradient in Andean ecosystems in Colombia. The dataset includes information on tree diameter and height, scientific and family names following APG III, Above Ground Biomass (AGB), perturbation gradient, altitude, and plot code. The aim of this data collection is to investigate the factors influencing forest change across various gradients, and to evaluate the forest composition of these forests. This data set was obtained within the framework of the BioResilience project, a transdisciplinary investigation that seeks to understand the resilience of forest ecosystems after the post-conflict period in Colombia.

A set of 130 digital precipitation maps of the tropical Andes, covering Colombia, Ecuador and Peru at a 5km resolution. The maps represent different realizations of mean precipitation totals of the period 1981-2010 using different satellite-gauge merging methods. The work draws on a large database of 723 rain gauges and the full 5km Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (TPR) record from 1998 to 2014. Each map is approximately 1MB Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/74a588cc-723c-4a35-ac0c-223f5b92ee36
