Leaf water potential by leaf age, Feb2017, PA-SLZ: Panama

Leaf water potential of sunlit canopy leaves of Apeiba membranacea (APEIME), Guatteria dumetorum (GUATDU), Miconia borealis (MICOBO), Terminalia amazonia (TERMAM), Virola multiflora (VIROSP) and Vochysia ferruginea (VOCHFE) species from the NGEE-Tropics Bosque Protector San Lorenzo (PA-SLZ) site in Panama, February 2017. Leaf water potential measured on young, mature and old leaves collected before dawn and around midday on 21 February and 22 February. This data was collected as part of the 2017 BNL–STRI leaf traits by age campaign. See related datasets (existing and future) for further sample details, leaf spectra, sap flow, leaf mass area (LMA), gas exchange and leaf chemistry. This dataset was originally published on the NGEE Tropics Archive and is being mirrored on ESS-DIVE for long-term archival Acknowledgement: This research was supported as part of NGEE-Tropics, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research under contract no.
