Points on or above the treeline

Description

A data set containing 133,302 points on or above the treeline. The data set was generated with the function generate_point_df. For the gstRaster (growing season temperature) and the gslRaster (growing season length) raster layers from CHELSA V2.1 are used (see source), the stepSize is set to 0.0416666 degrees. The thresholds and the treeline definition is based on Paulsen and Körner, Alp. Bot. 124: 1-12 (2014). The GMBA mountain inventory V1.2 was used to remove points that do not lie within steep terrain.
