Leaf structural traits and allometry of juvenile trees across temperature treatments in an experimental plantation in the Colombian Andes, 2019-2022
This dataset details the allometry and leaf trait measurements in three common gardens of fifteen juvenile tree species from the Colombian Andes planted along a thermosequence (14, 22 and 26 deg C) in the Antioquia region of Colombia. Allometric data includes tree diameter at the base, total tree height and height to the first branch, crown diameters, health status, survival and percentage of herbivory attacks over ten measuring campaigns from February 2019 until January 2022. Trait data includes leaf area, thickness, dry weight, leaf mass per area total number of branches and leaves per tree. Regarding the common garden plantations the trees were planted in the ground between November 2019 and January 2019 with planting height ranging between 50 and 100 cm (species dependent).

- Statement
- Trees were planted in open areas in 0.32 m3 soil pits using 400 kg of soil per tree from soil extracted from a nearby location to the 14 deg C site to maintain soil physical and chemical conditions. All trees were tagged and their diameter at 2 cm height was labelled to ensure all posterior measurements were taken at the same stem position. All trees have been watered since planting during dry periods to allow successful plant establishment and avoid water-limitation effects. At each field site, trees were planted in four 600 m2 plots with six blocks within each plot, codified '1' to '6'. The sixth block was used as a nutrient fertilisation treatment, with monthly additions of N, P, K and secondary and minor elements. Each block contains one tree of each of the fifteen-study species, for a total of 24 trees of each of the fifteen species per site, with 360 trees planted at each site. Trees were monitored (allometry and leaf structural traits) since they were 18-24 months old from February 2019 until January 2022. A total of ten measuring campaigns were performed for allometry and five for leaf structural traits. The first allometry census was performed at a mid-elevation nursery where trees were germinating and then growing for 18-24 months.
