Dataset: Will epiphyte loss exacerbate climate change effects in tropical montane cloud forests?

Note: This is copied and pasted from the attached Word doc ("Figshare metadata"). It might be easier to read it there.R scripts· 1_Functions_RxMC: Functions used in the data processing and analysis scripts· 2_Data_processing_RxMC: Script used to process intermediate data that is used for analysis· 3_Analysis_RxMC: Run analyses, generate figures and output tablesDatasetsNote: Some additional data processing is done in the script “2_Data_processing_RxMC”, but all data needed for that script is included here.· Base_tree_data.csv: Full dataset of microclimate data from all 20 trees over the study time period· Reference_data_full.csv: Full dataset of microclimate data from all 5 reference stations over the study time period· Epi_mat_weight.csv: Data from the epiphyte mat water holding capacity part of the study.· Leaf_off_by_pair_new.csv: A dataset, at 15-min resolution, that identifies times when leaves were absent for each tree. Meant to be joined to main dataset to filter out those periods.· Tree_metadata.csv: Metadata for each tree, explained below in more detail.Key columns appearing in multiple datasets· Tree: Unique Tree or reference station identifier used in the study, of 25 total. Although reference stations are not trees, the same column header is used to facilitate binding dataframes by column name.· Station: Location of specific sensor within the tree.o S0: Denotes reference stationo S1-S3: Outer-canopy stationso S4: Inner canopy stationo S5: Above-canopy station· Timestamp: Hourly as y-m-d h:m:s or daily as ymd. Reading into R with lubridate::as_datetime() works like a charmMicroclimate variables explainedThese variables appear in base tree data and reference data· Solar: Solar radiation (W/m2)· Temp: Temperature (°C)· RH: Relative humidity (proportion)· Atmos_pressure: Atmospheric pressure (kPa)· VPD: Vapor Pressure Deficit (kPa)· LW_minutes: Number of minutes that leaves were wet out of the previous 15 (proportion)· Wetness: Leaf wetness (g/m2)· Wind_speed: Wind speed (m/s)· Precipitation: Water input to pluviometers (mm)Tree metadata columns· Pair: Identifier for partner tree· Reference: Identifier for the closest reference station· Land: Forest or pasture· Treatment: Stripped or control· GenusEpiphyte water holding capacity columns· Saturated weight (kg): Weight after being soaked overnight in water and drip-drying for approximately 30 min.· Dried weight (kg): Weight after oven-drying for 3 days
