Data for 'Evolutionary history and root trait coordination predict nutrient strategy in tropical legume trees': Fabaceae trait data

This file contains raw trait data for a greenhouse pot experiment of 22 species of tropical and subtropical Fabaceae trees and shrubs, published as Marcellus et al. (2024) ''Evolutionary history and root trait coordination predict nutrient strategy in tropical legume trees' in New Phytologist. Data include growth and biomass (leaf, stem, nodule, thorn, coarse and fine root), leaf traits (specific leaf area, foliar P, A max), symbiotic traits (acetylene reduction activity, arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation) and root traits (specific root length, diameter, tissue density, root N, root C, root 13C, root 15N and phosphatse activity). Species include seven non-fixers: Adenanthera pavonina, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Coulteria velutina, Delonix regia, Parkinsonia aculeata, Parkinsonia africana, Parkinsonia florida and 15 fixers: Acacia baileyana, Acacia confusa, Acaciam dealbata, Acacia mearnsii, Acacia saligna, Albizia julibrissin, Albizia lebbeck, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Leucaena leucocephala, Prosopis chilensis, Prosopis juliflora, Samanea saman, Senegalia senegal, Vachellia erioloba and Vachellia farnesiana.

本文件包含22种热带、亚热带豆科（Fabaceae）乔木与灌木的温室盆栽试验原始性状数据，对应Marcellus等人（2024）发表于《新植物学家（New Phytologist）》的论文《进化历史与根系性状协调作用预测热带豆科树木的养分策略》。数据涵盖生长与生物量指标（含叶、茎、根瘤、棘刺、粗根及细根生物量）、叶片性状指标（比叶面积、叶片磷含量、最大光合速率（A max））、共生性状指标（乙炔还原活性、丛枝菌根定殖率）以及根系性状指标（比根长、直径、组织密度、根系氮含量、根系碳含量、根系碳13同位素、根系氮15同位素及磷酸酶活性）。供试物种包含7种非固氮树种：海红豆（Adenanthera pavonina）、洋金凤（Caesalpinia pulcherrima）、Coulteria velutina、凤凰木（Delonix regia）、扁轴木（Parkinsonia aculeata）、非洲扁轴木（Parkinsonia africana）、佛罗里达扁轴木（Parkinsonia florida）；以及15种固氮树种：贝利相思树（Acacia baileyana）、台湾相思（Acacia confusa）、Acaciam dealbata、米兰相思（Acacia mearnsii）、沙金合欢（Acacia saligna）、合欢（Albizia julibrissin）、阔荚合欢（Albizia lebbeck）、象耳豆（Enterolobium cyclocarpum）、银合欢（Leucaena leucocephala）、智利牧豆树（Prosopis chilensis）、白花牧豆树（Prosopis juliflora）、雨树（Samanea saman）、塞内加尔金合欢（Senegalia senegal）、沃氏金合欢（Vachellia erioloba）、费氏金合欢（Vachellia farnesiana）。
