Dataset Information

Site ID: PA-SLZ

Site Name: Bosque Protector San Lorenzo (Fort Sherman)

Variables: Leaf spectra

Date Range: Feb. 20, 2017 - Feb. 23, 2017

Description: This dataset contains leaf reflectance spectra of sunlit canopy leaves from trees at the San Lorenzo Protected Area (PA-SLZ), Panama. Spectra were measured with a full-spectrum (350 -2500 nm) spectroradiometer with a leaf clip attachment. Leaves previously documented in a demography survey were targeted, and each leaf spectrum is paired with species identification, relative leaf position on each branch and estimated leaf age in days. Leaves were measured from the following species: Apeiba membranacea, Carapa guianensis, Guatteria dumetorum, Miconia borealis, Tachigali versicolor, Terminalia amazonia, Tocoyena pittieri and Vochysia ferruginea Unprocessed spectral data are included as SVC *.sig files, and metadata, including sample details, are presented in *.xlsx files. Leaf reflectance spectra of sunlit canopy leaves from trees at the San Lorenzo Protected Area (PA-SLZ), Panama. Spectra were measured with a full-spectrum (350 -2500 nm) spectroradiometer with a leaf clip attachment.

QA/QC: Full QA-QC

Methods Description: Leaf reflectance spectra were measured in situ using a Spectra Vista HR-1024i spectroradiometer with leaf clip attachment. Top of canopy leaves were accessed using the canopy access crane at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) San Lorenzo Protected Area site. Leaves from the follow species were measured (6 character code used in data tables): Apeiba membranacea (APEIME), Carapa guianensis (CARAGU), Guatteria dumetorum (GUATDU), Miconia borealis (MICOBO), Tachigali versicolor (TACHVE), Terminalia amazonia (TERMAM), Tocoyena pittieri (TOCOPI) and Vochysia ferruginea (VOCHFE). Data was recorded on the 20, 22 and 23 February 2017.
