This dataset is provided as supplementary material of the following article: Zhang G, Breda N, Steil N, Gaertner PA, Levillain J, Ruelle J, Massonnet C. (2025) Analyzing resilience of European beech tree to recurrent extreme drought events through ring growth, wood anatomy and stable isotopes. Journal of Ecology. The study investigates the physiological processes linked to water and carbon constraints involved in the resilience of beech cambial growth to the recent drought event in Central Europe. The dataset includes a dendrometric description of the 56 trees and annual soil water deficit data of 4 stands in the NorthEastern France where the study was conducted. We also provide tree ring data from 2013 to 2022 period (ring width, anatomical parameters of vessels, stable isotope 13C and 18O and water use efficiency claculation). Long term data of tree ring width and basal area increment for the 56 trees are also provided.
