ABoVE: White Spruce Photosynthetic and Leaf Traits, Alaska and New York, 2017
This dataset provides measurements of gas exchange (light response curves, Kok curves and ACi curves), leaf traits (carbon, nitrogen, and specific leaf area), leaf pigments (Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b and Carotenoids), the photochemical reflectance index (PRI), and average photosynthetic photon flux density as collected from hemispherical photographs. Data were collected on white spruce trees (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) growing at the northern edge of the species' distribution in Alaska and at the southern edge of the species' distribution in Black Rock Forest (BRF), New York. Measurements were taken at high and low canopy positions on each tree at both sites during the 2017 growing season (2017-06-19 to 2017-07-20). Gas exchange, leaf trait, pigment and spectral measurements were obtained using a portable photosynthesis system (LI-6800, LI-COR, Lincoln, NE). Photochemical reflectance index was determined using a spectroradiometer, and hemispherical photographs were taken with a digital camera. These data were collected to better understand how vertical canopy gradients in photosynthetic physiology change from the southernmost to the northernmost range extremes of white spruce. The data are provided in comma-separated value (CSV) format.
