Raw data for "Functional responses to climate change may increase invasive potential of Carpobrotus edulis"

Raw data for "Functional responses to climate change may increase invasive potential of <i>Carpobrotus edulis</i>" published in the American Journal of Botany (2021). The data set contains (A) the growth measurements: relative growth rate, (RGR [year⁻¹]), total dry mass (g), root dry mass (g), shoot dry mass (g), and root to shoot ratio (RSR), (B) the composition of plant tissues: % N, δ¹⁵N (‰), % C, Δ¹³C (‰), C/N, and the seasonal measurements throughout the experiment of the Maximum Quantum Yield (<i>F</i>_v/<i>F</i>_m), Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI₅₃₁), Water Index (WI₉₀₀), Structural Independent Pigment Index (SIPI), Yellowness Index (YI), and Red Edge Index (λ RE), (C) the chlorophyll contents (Chl_T, Chl <i>a, </i>Chl <i>b</i>, Chl <i>a</i>/<i>b</i>, Car/ Chl_T in nmol/cm²), xanthophyll pigments (Violaxanthin [Vx], Antheraxanthin [Ax], and Zeaxanthin [Zx], total xanthophyll contents [VAZ], de-epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle [DPS], Lutein and β-Carotene in mmol/mol Chl_T), stress-related phytohormones<b> </b>(Abscisic acid [ABA], jasmonic acid [JA], salicylic acid [SA] in ppb: ng/gFW), tocopherols content (α-TOC and ɤ-TOC in nmol/gFW), and the degree of lipid peroxidation (in µmol H₂O₂eq/gFW), and (D) the survivorship of <i>Carpobrotus edulis </i>plants from four native (South African) and four invasive (NW Iberian Peninsula) populations, grown under control, increased temperature, reduced rainfall, and increased temperature with reduced rainfall conditions,from the start (15 September 2015) to the end of the experiment (15 November 2016). Climate conditions were manipulated in a field plot located on the island of Sálvora (NW Iberian Peninsula).
