Description: This data package contains net photosynthesis rates and methanol and isoprene leaf emissions as a function of light, temperature, and leaf age. Data was collected from the species V. guianensis at the NGEE Tropics site in Manaus, Brazil (BR-Ma2). This data is used in the publication "Methanol and Isoprene Emissions from the Fast Growing Tropical Pioneer Species Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Pers. (Hypericaceae) in the Amazon Basin." Isoprene (Is) emissions by plants represent a loss of carbon and energy resources leading to the initial hypothesis that fast growing pioneer species in secondary tropical forests allocate carbon primarily to growth at the expense of isoprenoid defenses. In this study, we quantified leaf isoprene and methanol emissions from the abundant pantropical pioneer tree species Vismia guianensis and ambient isoprene concentrations above a diverse secondary forest in the central Amazon.

Also included are the figures from the related publication.
