We thank the co-authors, field data collectors and funding agencies of the original data sources used in this study. We are also grateful to all curators of open-access databases from which we drew data for this study. In particular, we wish to thank Daniel Falster and Remko Duursma for compiling the biomass and allometry database (BAAD) for woody plants; Michael Keller and Maiza Nara for providing us access to data from the Sustainable Landscapes Brazil project; Kristina Anderson-Teixeira and her co-authors for archiving allometric data from the CTFS-ForestGEO forest dynamics plot at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (Virginia, USA); and KaDonna Randolph of the USDA forest service for her assistance in accessing the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) database. We thank Bruno Hérault and an anonymous reviewer for their thoughtful and constructive comments on an earlier draft of our manuscript. T.J. was funded by NERC (grant number: NE/K016377/1). This work has benefited from ANR grants to J.C. (CEBA, ref. ANR-10-LABX-25-01 and TULIP, ref. ANR-10-LABX-0041). The Sustainable Landscapes Brazil project was supported by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the US Forest Service, and USAID, and the US Department of State. Data collection for the UNECE ICP Forests PCC Collaborative Database was cofinanced by national or regional organizations and by the European Commission under regulations (EEC) No 2158/86, Forest Focus (EC) No 2152/200, FutMon (EC) LIFE07 ENV/D/218.

Remote sensing is revolutionizing the way we study forests, and recent technological advances mean we are now able – for the first time – to identify and measure the crown dimensions of individual trees from airborne imagery. Yet to make full use of these data for quantifying forest carbon stocks and dynamics, a new generation of allometric tools which have tree height and crown size at their centre are needed. Here, we compile a global database of 108753 trees for which stem diameter, height and crown diameter have all been measured, includi...
