Collection details,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"All Sonoran desert plants sampled (11 species, 33 plants) are located within the Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix, AZ, USA). ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"With exception of sampling variables (columns A-G) and leaf area (column AT), all measurements reported are direct calculations from portable photosynthesis system (LI6800, LI-COR Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA).",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Variable ,Names and units,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Category,Thermal water use strategy as described in the manuscript (Marginal gain or Alternative water use),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Species,Scientific name of desert species sampled,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Species_code,Acronym created for each species,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Plant ,Each plant individual per species (n=3 plants/sp),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Leaf,Each leaf sampled per species (n= at least 3 leaves per measurement period/plant). 3 data points were logged for each leaf to ensure stability (1 min apart from each other).,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Sample_code,"Consists of: [Species individual]_[Leaf sample]_[Treatment*]. Only one treatment reported in this manuscript (i.e., A = ambient conditions)",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Time_of_day,"Measurement time (5 AM, 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, 7 PM)",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
All other variables starting from column H are raw measurement values obtained from LI6800.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Row 2 shows all units. For full variable names (n=108), please refer to the LI6800 User Manual (pg. 3-74) -- https://licor.app.boxenterprise.net/s/2yrup4d2nq0n07sur6a7xph893tyr284 ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Column AT chamber area (S, cm2) was determined from scanned images of the measured leaves and area obtained using ImageJ software.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
