Key message This data set provides unique empirical data from triplets of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) across Europe. Dendrometric variables are provided for 32 triplets, 96 plots, 7555 trees and 4695 core samples. These data contribute to our understanding of mixed stand dynamics. Dataset access at http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.8v04m .

Networking for the design and discussion of the transect study was supported by COST Association during FP1206 COST Action (EuMIXFOR: European mixed forests – Integration Scientific Knowledge in Sustainable Forest Management). Funding for the establishment of the plots and collection of the data belonged to co-author.
