BIONTE (BIOmass and NuTrient Experiment) is a selective logging experiment established at the Experimental Station of Tropical Forestry (EEST, aka “ZF2”) field research station in the mid 1980s in the central Amazon (Higuchi et al. 1997, Amaral et al. 2019). The main data related to BIONTE are available as a separate dataset (Lima et al. 2022). Only species identified within the BIONTE plots were included in this dataset. Wood density, expressed in g cm-3, was collated from multiple sources that were integrated to compose the wood density for BIONTE. The starting point used was wood density data available from Chave et al. (2006), which was then adapted by Marra et al. (2016) and Marra et al. (2018). We also included data collected and synthesized by Ramírez-Méndez (2018) and Gimenez et al.(2021), who combined local estimates of wood density at the site with other sources collected in the Central Amazon. Data are included in .csv files, while BIONTE_WD_headers.txt provides descriptions of data file headers.
