Description

The record contains information on the leaf level physiology, chemistry and structural traits data measured from dominant tree and shrub species from the Great Western Woodlands Site in 2013. Data on leaf level physiology parameters associated with light saturated photosynthesis and intercellular carbon dioxide curves (AC_i), and leaf dry mass per leaf area trait (LMA) and leaf nitrogen and phosphorous content are provided.

Lineage

Experimental design and methods: The survey involved the set-up of ACi curves, and measurements of leaf N, P and LMA values for dominant species in the study site. In April and October 2013, the AC_i curves and related leaf traits (area:mass ratios, and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus) in 37 species growing at the Great Western Woodlands TERN - SuperSite. Leaves were sampled from different trees ranging from 1 to 4 replicates per species. A_sat (light saturated photosynthesis), A_max (CO₂ saturated photosynthesis), C_i (intercellular partial pressure of CO₂) and R_light (CO₂ evolution from mitochondria in the light, other than that associated with the PCO cycle) were used to calculate rates of V_cmax (maximum velocity of the carboxylase) and J_max (maximum rate of carboxylation allowed by the electron transport). V_cmax and J_max were corrected for temperature.
