Hydraulic stress limits thermal acclimation in trees under chronic drought

DOI

Plant ecophysiological and associated environmental data for two tree species (Fagus sylvatica and Quercus pubescens) grown for five years in a factorial open-top climate chamber experiment (Model Ecosystem Facility, Birmensdorf, Switzerland) to test the long-term effects of heat (+5 °C) and soil drought (irrigation reduced by 50%). n = 4 trees per species and treatment, n = 48 trees total.

Included data sheets:

  • Environmental_Data.csv: Chamber-level environmental recorded every 10 minutes
  • Tleaf.csv: Leaf temperatures recorded every 10 minutes
  • Gas_exchange.csv: Leaf-level gas exchange data taken diurnally on four days during the growing season
  • Leaf_traits.csv: Leaf functional traits
  • TSMs_HSMs.csv: Photosynthetic thermal tolerance and leaf water potential data, summarized also in terms of leaf thermal safety margins and hydraulic safety margins, collected 3-4 times during the growing season
  • Scorch.csv: Leaf-level leaf scorching data, including leaf thermal safety margins and scorching occurrence and presence, summarized by date
