Aleppo Pine Physiological Data from Irrigation Experiment

Measurements from a multi-year irrigation experiment on Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) under Mediterranean climate conditions. The data includes leaf gas exchange, sap flow, soil water content, and climatic variables collected from irrigated and control plots across multiple seasons and years. The dataset supports the study on compensatory carbon gain under extreme atmospheric drought.

Use Cases

• Analyze stomatal regulation strategies based on stomatal conductance data mentioned in the description
• Model tree water use efficiency based on sap flow and transpiration measurements
• Investigate long-term physiological acclimation to drought based on multi-season data
• Study the interaction between soil water limitation and atmospheric evaporative demand based on irrigation and VPD data

Strengths

• Data collected across multiple seasons and years, enabling analysis of long-term responses
• Includes measurements from both irrigated and control plots for comparative analysis
• Contains a variety of physiological and environmental variables as listed in the description

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
