Environmental conditions, ozone concentration, biomass and leaf level functional trait data for 10 tropical tree species grown across a range of ozone concentrations within nine Open Top Chambers, Cairns, Australia

This dataset contains measurements of ozone (O3) concentrations, and environmental conditions experienced by tropical tree species grown in a series of experiments using Open Top Chambers (OTC's) conducted between July 2020 and November 2022 This also includes information on final biomass and leaf-level functional traits of experimental plants. The species studied include Brachichyton acerifolius, Carallia brachiate, Calophyllum inophyllum, Chionanthus ramiflorus, Darlingia darlingiana, Flindersia pimenteliana, Homalanthus novo-guineensis, Inga edulis, Syzygium gustavioides, and Theobroma cacao. Environmental variables recorded included air temperature, relative humidity and photosynthetically active radiation, alongside O3 concentrations in each of nine OTC's. While harvested plants were analysed to determine total dry-biomass and biomass partitioning as well as leaf functional traits such as leaf mass per unit are, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content and leaf nitrogen content. This dataset also contains the calculated phytotoxic O3 dose (POD) for each species calculated when employing the DO3SE model and parametrized function of stomatal conductance. This data was supported by the NERC project, NE/R001812/1: Ozone impacts on tropical vegetation; implications for forest productivity (Trop-Oz).

Statement
Sequential experiments (average length 150 days) were conducted in nine independently controlled and monitored Open Top Chambers at the joint University of Exeter and James Cook University (JCU) TropOz research facility located on the Nguma-bada campus of JCU in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The O3 concentrations were measured approximately every 22 minutes using an ultraviolet UV absorption O3 analyser and environmental variables were monitored in the chambers using a single meteorological monitoring station. The plants were harvested and oven dried to determine biomass production, and dry lyophilized tissue used to determine leaf level biochemical traits. The accumulated O3 flux into leaves was estimated using the Deposition of O3 for Stomatal Exchange (DO3SE) model (Version 3.1) parametrized using leaf-level gas-exchange data collected using a portable photosynthesis analyser. These data were subject to standard data input and sense checking, and a full description can be found in the supporting documentation.
