Regardless of its importance, data on    \u03c1    are scarce for a substantial number of species of the vast Atlantic Forest phytogeographic domain. Given that, the present paper describes a dataset composed of three data tables: (i) determinations of    \u03c1    (kg m\u22123) for 153 species growing in three forest types within the subtropical Atlantic Forest, based on wood samples collected throughout the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil; (ii) a list of 719 tree\/shrub species observed by a state-level forest inventory and a    \u03c1    value assigned to each one of them based on local determinations and on a global database; (iii) the means and standard deviations of    \u03c1    for 477 permanent sample plots located in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, covering \u223c95,000 km2. The mean    \u03c1    over the 153 sampled species is 538.6 kg m\u22123 (standard deviation = 120.5 kg m\u22123), and the mean    \u03c1    per sample plot, considering the three forest types, is 525.0 kg m\u22123 (standard error = 1.8 kg m\u22123). The described dataset has potential to underpin studies on forest biomass, forest ecology, alternative uses of timber resources, as well as to enlarge the coverage of global datasets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data4030104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,22]],"date-time":"2019-07-22T03:14:54Z","timestamp":1563765294000},"page":"104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Towards the Fulfillment of a Knowledge Gap: Wood Densities for Species of the Subtropical Atlantic Forest"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8173-166X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laio","family":"Zimermann Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7444-1429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heitor","family":"Felippe Uller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Aline","family":"Renata Klitzke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Planejamento Florestal, Klabin S.A., Otac\u00edlio Costa 88540-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5991-7153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jackson","family":"Roberto Eleot\u00e9rio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"},{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8789-5833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Christian Vibrans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"},{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Engenharia Florestal, Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Blumenau 89030-000, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1461-0248.2009.01285.x","article-title":"Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum","volume":"12","author":"Chave","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ecol.
