Convergence in phosphorus constraints to photosynthesis dataset

Data on photosynthesis and photosynthetic parameters of native trees at natural sites measured in the field. Photosynthesis data are from the Farquhar photosynthesis model (e.g., Vcmax, Jmax) using controlled photosynthetic responses to [CO2] for a set of 52 pan-tropical and subtropical sites across South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Associated with each measurement is leaf N concentration and leaf P concentration as well as leaf mass per unit area. Farquhar photosynthesis model parameters Vcmax and Jmax were fit using the plantecophys package. Inlcuded in this dataset are data measured at tree-top from trees at 6 canopy crane sites. Further details about the measurements and data are in Ellsworth et al. (2022) Nature Communications.
