Leaf gas exchange measurement for steady-state stomatal conductance model calibration

This dataset supports a methodological investigation into leaf gas exchange measurement protocols for calibrating steady-state stomatal conductance models. The repository contains 24 data files comprising both field measurements and 3D biophysical model simulations. Field measurements include steady-state gas exchange data collected with a LICOR LI-6800 infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) and non-steady-state survey measurements collected with a LICOR LI-600 leaf porometer across three plant species: cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), and walnut (Juglans regia). Measured variables include stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, transpiration, leaf temperature, vapor pressure deficit, and photosynthetic photon flux density under varying light intensities and environmental conditions. Complementary simulated data were generated using leaf-resolving biophysical models to quantify measurement discrepancies across different stomatal time constants (τ = 900-9000s), sp..., , # Leaf gas exchange measurement for steady-state stomatal conductance model calibration

This repository contains gas exchange measurement data used to generate the figures in the associated manuscript. The data includes both measured (IRGA and porometer) and simulated gas exchange parameters for various plant species under different environmental conditions.

#### Overview

The dataset comprises leaf-level and canopy-scale gas exchange measurements along with model simulations. Data were collected using infrared gas analyzers (IRGA) and leaf porometers, with complementary simulations performed to validate stomatal conductance models.

#### File Naming Convention

Files are named according to the figure they correspond to in the manuscript:

* `Figure[N]-[Instrument/Method]-[Description].[ext]`

Where:

* `[N]` = Figure number in manuscript
* `[Instrument/Method]` = Data collection method (IRGA, Porometer, Simulated)
* `[Description]` = Brief description of the experiment or data type
