Data supporting: The thermal tolerance of photosynthetic tissues: a global systematic review and agenda for future research

Dataset supporting a broad systematic review of studies of thermal tolerance in land plants. The dataset contains information from the articles that met inclusion criteria from a systematic review of >21,000 papers. The papers were screened and retained if these were investigations into tolerance of leaves or leaf-buds of angiosperms and gymnosperms exposed to potentially damaging high or low temperature events as distinct from growth conditions. We recorded meta-data of the reference, authors, title, journal, publication year and extracted data for each use of technique to measure thermal tolerance of photosynthetic tissues. A key to the type of extracted data is provided in the dataset and further information will be available in the published article and its supporting information.
