Data from: Contrasting heat tolerance of evergreen and deciduous urban woody species during heat waves

# Contrasting heat tolerance of evergreen and deciduous urban woody species during heat waves [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.7pvmcvf23](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.7pvmcvf23) We have submitted our raw data (Data.xls). There are two sheets in the “Data” table. **MetaData** lists the paper title, abbreviation of all the names of each column in the RawData **RawData** is the raw data; any missing values are shown as "NA" to minimize ambiguity. ## Description of the data and file structure ### Data: * Species: Scientific name of the species * City: Study sites * Leafhabit: evergreen and deciduous * EHF: Excess heat factor * LDR: Leaf damage ratio (%) * Fv/Fm: The maximum quantum efficiency of the leaf photosystem II (unitless) * Tleafmax: The maximum temperature of leaf during the day (°C) * Tcrit : The critical temperature causes the initial damage (15%) to Fv/Fm (°C) * T50: The temperature causes 50% damage to Fv/Fm (°C) * TSMcrit: The difference between thermal tolerance (Tcrit) and Tleafmax (°C) * TSM50: The difference between thermal tolerance (T50) and Tleafmax (°C) * LMA: Leaf mass per area (g/m2) * LA: Individual leaf area (cm2) * LT: Leaf thickness (μm) * Tup: Thickness of upper epidermis (μm) * Tlow: Thickness of lower epidermis (μm) * Tp: Thickness of palisade tissue (μm) * Ts: Thickness of spongy tissue (μm) * P/S: The ratio of thickness of palisade tissue to spongy tissue (unitless) * GCL: Guard cell length (μm) * SD: Stomatal density (mm-2) * SPI: Stomatal pore index (unitless)
