Avalos SLA in 5 species of tropical palms

This dataset examines the relationship between specific leaf area (SLA) and total carbon content in five palm species in Costa Rica, focusing on both canopy and understory species. The study involved leaf samples from 123 individuals, including canopy palms like Euterpe precatoria and Iriartea deltoidea, and understory species such as Prestoea decurrens, Chamaedorea tepejilote, and Asterogyne martiana.本数据集聚焦哥斯达黎加境内的5个棕榈物种，探究其比叶面积（specific leaf area，SLA）与总碳含量的相关性，研究涵盖冠层与林下两类棕榈物种。本次研究共采集123个个体的叶片样本，其中冠层棕榈包括Euterpe precatoria与Iriartea deltoidea，林下物种则包含Prestoea decurrens、Chamaedorea tepejilote及Asterogyne martiana。
