Visible light images of a mature oak woodland canopy under Free-Air CO2 Enrichment at the BIFoR-FACE experimental site, Staffordshire, UK, 2021-2023

The dataset provides visible light images from a camera at the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research Free Air CO2 Enrichment (BIFoR-FACE) experimental site from July 2021 to September 2023. The data are visible light images, predominately of tree canopies (leaves, branches, stems).

This site is a mature oak woodland, and the field of view of the camera includes one of the experimental CO2 enrichment plots, and numerous trees in the ambient un-enriched air. The trees included in the field of view are predominantly Quercus robur, with some individuals of Acer pseudoplatanus and Pinus sylvestris.

Data were collected to complement additional data on canopy temperature at the same site but can also be used to look at vegetation phenology.
