Passive Irrigation Data: Leaf and Tree Hydraulics with Growth Measurements

Davide Siclari's dataset contains leaf and tree morphological data, tree growth data, and predawn and midday water potentials. It also includes raw leaf temperature and stomatal conductance data from a Licor instrument. The dataset is 434.6 KB in size and was last updated on April 28, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling plant water use efficiency based on stomatal conductance and leaf temperature data.
• Analyzing relationships between tree growth and water potential measurements.
• Studying leaf morphological adaptations to water availability.
• Calibrating or validating passive irrigation system models with physiological data.

Strengths

• Dataset is 434.6 KB, indicating a focused and manageable size for analysis.
• Includes both processed morphological/growth data and raw instrument output (Licor_Output).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
