Leaf demography spectra, February 2017, PA-SLZ: Panama

This dataset contains leaf reflectance spectra of sunlit canopy leaves from trees at the San Lorenzo Protected Area (PA-SLZ), Panama. Spectra were measured with a full-spectrum (350 -2500 nm) spectroradiometer with a leaf clip attachment. Leaves previously documented in a demography survey were targeted, and each leaf spectrum is paired with species identification, relative leaf position on each branch and estimated leaf age in days. Leaves were measured from the following species: Apeiba membranacea, Carapa guianensis, Guatteria dumetorum, Miconia borealis, Tachigali versicolor, Terminalia amazonia, Tocoyena pittieri and Vochysia ferruginea Unprocessed spectral data are included as SVC *.sig files, and metadata, including sample details, are presented in *.xlsx files.
