Title:Leaf angle measurements for temperate tree species in northeastern USA
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Leaf angle distribution (LAD) measurements were made during the growing season in 2021 at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, MA, USA, and in 2022 at the Thompson Farm Earth Systems Observatory in Durham, NH, USA. At both sites, a level-calibrated digital angle tool was used to measure LAD in upper canopy foliage of common northeastern temperate tree species accessed using a mobile canopy lift. Additionally, at Thompson Farm, measurements were made at multiple heights to characterize differences of LAD in high, middle, and low canopy positions. Here, we have published a summary table of species average leaf angles and calculated parameters for fitted beta distributions. Raw leaf angle measurements and processing scripts can be made available upon request to the authors. Additionally, leaf chemical, physical, structure, optical and physiological traits have been measured at these site as well as canopy scale measures of structure and UAV-based spectral, thermal, and lidar imagery.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Canopy foliage was accessed for leaf angle distribution (LAD) measurements using a mobile canopy lift. At Harvard Forest measurements were made on excised branches setup in a nearby lab space to match the branch angle measured during collection. Branches were transported in water and measured within two hours of collection. At Thompson Farm, broadleaf measurements were made in situ, while needleleaf measurements were made on excised branches. The height of each measurement location was measured with a TruPulse 360R Laser Rangefinder, and each measurement location was categorized into one of three canopy position classes:

HIGH: Top of the canopy foliage experiencing predominantly bright, direct sunlight environment.

MID: Middle of the canopy foliage experiencing a mixed-light environment.

LOW: Lower part of the canopy foliage experiencing predominantly shaded, and indirect sunlight environment.

For broadleaf species, we measured the angle (degree offset from horizontal; accuracy +/- 0.3 degrees) of 50 leaves for each tree/canopy position using a level-calibrated digital angle gauge. Measurements were made in-line with the leaf lamina, taking care not to disturb leaf orientation.

For needleleaf species, we measured the orientation of clusters (e.g., one or more pine fascicle) of similarly aligned needles before plucking the needles and sorting them into needle angle classes (e.g., 0-10 °, 11-20 °, …, 81 -90 °). After measuring and sorting several hundred needles, we weighed the mass of each angle class and estimated needleleaf LAD based on the mass-based proportion of each needle class.

A two-parameter Beta distribution was calculated for each species and height class as described by equations 21 - 26 in Wang et al. 2007 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2006.12.003).
