Age and phenology control photosynthesis and leaf traits in the understory woody species, Rhamnus cathartica and Prunus serotina

Dataset contains leaf physiological variables and leaf traits from Rhamnus cathartica (buckthorn) and Prunus serotina (Black cherry) measured in Summer 2019 at Macalester College's Ordway Field Station. All data were collected on understory individuals from 4 sites within the forest in late May and early July, 2019. We sampled from 'tree' individuals and seedlings of both species. All methods and measurement protocols are published in Heskel et al. 2022 in AoB-PLANTS, currently in revision. Data includes: Vcmax (umol m2-s-1) Jmax (umol m2-s-1) Fv/Fm (no units) Leaf Stomatal Density (stomata mm-2) Dark respiration (umol m2-s-1) Asat (umol m2-s-1) A400 (umol m2-s-1) Carbon Gain Efficiency (CGE, no units) CGE_400 (CGE at 400 PAR, no units) Leaf Mass per Are (LMA, g m-2)

Manuscript is currently in revision at AoB-PLANTS (July 2022)
