G-LiHT Campaign Leaf Carbon and Nitrogen Content, Mar2017: Puerto Rico

Measurements of leaf carbon and nitrogen content collected from 68 tropical tree species. Data includes leaves collected from fully sunlit and shaded canopy strata as well as leaves for young, mature, old and senescent leaf ages. Data for each sample includes the relative age estimate, leaf canopy position and sample number. This data was collected as part of the 2017 NGEE-Tropics / NASA G-LiHT airborne campaign. This data package includes processed data for leaf carbon and nitrogen content (*.csv). Metadata files include data description (_dd.csv) for tabular data, site information (*.csv), sampling protocol (*.pdf) and the NGEE-Tropics FRAMES e-field log and file submission metadata (*.xlsx). See related datasets for sample details including photographs, leaf-level reflectance and transmittance spectra, leaf mass per area (LMA) and water content.
