Dates are not equivalent to gas exchange measurement periods due to issues with early deployment. In the manuscript, longwave radiation was used just as a reference as it did not correlate to any of our physiological variables.",, ,, Variable ,Names and units, TIMESTAMP,Time and date of measurement, DAY,Date of measurement, TIME,Time of measurement, RECORD,Number of measurement, PanelT,Datalogger panel temperature, Pyrg_LWi_Avg,Longwave radiation (W m-2),
