I'm looking for data on maturation ages for tropical trees, but I haven't had much success with BIOSIS or Google Scholar. Ideally, I'd love to find a review paper that presents means and standard deviations across many species and regions, but I'm not sure if one exists. However, I'm guessing that such data have been compiled by organizations with highly applied objectives (e.g. government agencies, forestry-related organizations) or perhaps by research stations. If anybody can direct me to a relevant source or two, I'd greatly appreciate it.
