Canopy plant area index

In Puéchabon and Pic Saint Loup forests (FR), 687 optical measurements were performed in the PAR range (Photosynthetically Active Radiation between 400 nm and 700 nm) with 2 plant canopy analyzers (LAI-2000 and LAI-2200). They were done at sunset (only once at dawn) and at 7 monthly dates between April and October 2021. Plot sampling were designed following ICOS protocol standards and effective canopy plant area index values were computed from FV2200 software assuming a homogeneous canopy. This dataset is part of the SENTHYMED/MEDOAK experiment. If you use this data, please quote: K. Adeline, J.B. Féret, H. Clenet, J.M. Limousin, J.M. Ourcival, F. Mouillot, S. Alleaume, A. Jolivot, X.
