Raw leaf gas exchange data, Leaf traits and 13CO2 experiment in the Amazon basin, Manaus, Brazil, 2019

This data package contains raw light response curves of mature leaves from 26 individuals, distributed among 18 species with different canopy positions, and leaf traits (LMA, N, P, and NSC) from Manaus-Brazil (June-November 2019). Branches were cut from the tree and re-cut under water. All measurements were made using (Li-6400XT, Li-Cor®, Lincoln, USA) under standard environmental conditions. Also, have data from an experiment with 13CO2 using a combined method with Licor 6400XT and Picarro. The experiment was conducted with one tropical species and measured the concentration of ¹³CO2 and ¹²CO2 to estimate rates of leaf respiration. All the files included in this data package are in .csv format with additional metadata spreadsheets in Excel file formats. This dataset was originally published on the NGEE Tropics Archive and is being mirrored on ESS-DIVE for long-term archival Acknowledgement: This material is based upon work supported as part of the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments-Tropics (NGEE-Tropics) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research`s Terrestrial Ecosystem Science Program through contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
