Leaf-level trade-offs between drought avoidance and desiccation recovery drive elevation stratification in arid oaks: site environmental data, individual tree stem and leaf physiological data, and analyses
No full textThe zip file contains folders, scripts, and data necessary to reproduce the analysis and figures. Once unzipped, all scripts and data can be opened and run in RStudio with the "RStudio Project Leaf-level tradeoffs oaks AZ.Rproj" file. All folders with data (folders proceeded by “input_”, the “gen_data” folder, and the “hipp_etal” folder) contain separate readme files that document the individual files in that folder. See the primary README.txt for more information.This dataset and RStudio project includes all processed data, most raw data, and R scripts needed for analysis and figure construction included in the manuscript Fallon and J. Cavender-Bares 2018 (Fallon B. and J. Cavender-Bares. 2018. Leaf-level trade-offs between drought avoidance and desiccation recovery drive elevation stratification in arid oaks. Ecosphere. in press). We investigated whether oak species in the Chiricahua Mountains were 1) elevationally stratified, 2) whether that stratification was correlated with temperature minima, maxima, and water availability, 3) if physiological tolerances to freezing or drought stress correlated with elevation ranges, and 4) if traits important to local (elevation) distributions were correlated with climatic values of the wider species ranges. Data were collected at field sites from wild, adult trees in the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona, USA from 2014-2015.This research was done with funding to B. Fallon from the Southwestern Research Station (SWRS, American Museum of Natural History), the University of Minnesota Charles J. Brand, Carolyn Crosby, and Dayton Bell Fellowships, and the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology. Additional funding was provided by NSF Award 1146380 (J. Cavender-Bares PI).

Leaf and canopy spectra, symptom progression, and physiological data from experimental detection of oak wilt in oak seedlings
No full textThese data were collected as part of an experimental effort to accurately detect oak wilt infections in oak seedlings using remote sensing tools and to differentiate that disease stress from other mechanisms of tree decline. Oak wilt disease causes rapid mortality in oaks in the central and eastern United States. Management of the disease requires early diagnosis and tree removal to prevent fungal spread. Hyperspectral tools provide a potential method of early remote diagnosis, but accurately differentiating oak wilt from other agents of oak decline is integral to effective management. We conducted experiments (2017 and 2018) on two year old seedlings of Quercus ellipsoidalis and Q. macrocarpa in which treatments were 1) maintained as healthy individuals, 2) subjected to chronic drought, or inoculated 3) stems with oak wilt fungus (Bretziella fagacearum, a fungal vascular wilt) or 4) leaves with bur oak blight fungus (Tubakia iowensis, a fungal leaf pathogen). We measured leaf and whole plant hyperspectral reflectance (350 to 2400nm, Spectra Vista HR 1024i spectroradiometer (Spectra Vista Corporation, New York, USA)), gas exchange (LI-6440XT with a leaf chamber fluorometer attachment (LI-COR Environmental, Nebraska, USA)), and tracked symptom development in repeated measures of seedlings over the course of each experiment. In 2018, we explicitly measured spectral reflectance and gas exchange on both symptomatic and green leaves, as available and we also measured collected thermal images of leaves twice during the experiment (2018 only).University of Minnesota Grand Challenges Research Grant, Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pests Center (Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources) GrantTestFallon, Beth; Yang, Anna; Nguyen, Cathleen; Armour, Isabella; Juzwik, Jennifer; Montgomery, Rebecca A.; Cavender-Bares, Jeannine.
