Leaf functional trait data from three experimental sites in the Colombian Andes, June-August 2019
type: Dataset
description: This dataset includes key leaf functional trait data collected from three common garden sites along an elevation/temperature gradient in the Colombian Andes. From eight species, there are a selection of leaf structural (leaf mass per unit area, leaf thickness, leaf dry matter content, leaf area, leaf width) nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus, expressed on area- and mass-bases) and water-use efficiency (13C and g1) traits. Values for these traits were obtained by a combination of laboratory analysis, raw measurements with handheld equipment, and processing with packages in the ‘R’ environment.
