Evergreen needleleaf forest pigment, MONI-PAM, eddy-covariance, and tower-scale remote sensing data across four different sites

The data presented here are from four evergreen needleleaf forests, which include boreal forest locations in Alaska (DEJU, mean annual temperature = 0.4 degrees Celsius [°C], latitude = 63.9 degrees north [°N]) and Saskatchewan, Canada (Ca-Obs, 1.3°C, 54.0°N), a high elevation forest in Colorado (US-NR1, 2.8°C, 40.0°N), and a longleaf pine forest in Florida (OSBS, 21.1°C, 29.7°N). Included are needle-scale pigment data from the DEJU, US-NR1, and OSBS sites; MONI-PAM fluoresence data from the DEJU and US-NR1 sites, tower-scale eddy-covariance, meterological, and remotely sensed solar-induced fluoresence and vegetation index data across all four sites.
