Leaf structural traits and allometry of juvenile trees across temperature treatments in an experimental plantation in the Colombian Andes, 2019-2022

This dataset details the allometry and leaf trait measurements in three common gardens of fifteen juvenile tree species from the Colombian Andes planted along a thermosequence (14, 22 and 26 deg C) in the Antioquia region of Colombia. Allometric data includes tree diameter at the base, total tree height and height to the first branch, crown diameters, health status, survival and percentage of herbivory attacks over ten measuring campaigns from February 2019 until January 2022. Trait data includes leaf area, thickness, dry weight, leaf mass per area total number of branches and leaves per tree. Regarding the common garden plantations the trees were planted in the ground between November 2019 and January 2019 with planting height ranging between 50 and 100 cm (species dependent).
