Abstract:

This data publication includes data collected as part of a study assessing physiological acclimation of canopy leaves at the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) canopy access tower, located at the Sabana Field Research Station in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Physiological acclimation was assessed on two tree species, Guarea guidonia and Ocotea sintenisii, through photosynthetic and respiratory temperature response in the summer of 2017. Leaves were heated +3 ºCelsius throughout the canopy access tower using heating pads. Complementary environmental data were collected describing leaf temperature at each tower level where leaves were heated. Leaf area index was also measured at each level of the canopy access tower.
