Leaf data of four families of broad-leaved plants

<p>The data include two comma-delimited (csv) files and one word document. The data1.csv file saves the leaf raw data (including leaf lamina length, width, area, perimeter, fresh mass, and dry mass) from five groups of <i>Phyllostachys edulis</i> (Poaceae) differing in culm age. The bamboo plants grew in the Purple Mountain, Nanjing, China. The data2.csv file saves the leaf raw data (including leaf lamina length, width, area, perimeter, fresh mass, and dry mass) of 21 species from three families (nine Lauraceae species, six Fagaceae species and six Ulmaceae species) growing in Nanjing, China. Among the 21 species, we measured the data of leaf petiole fresh mass for the nine Lauraceae species. The word document (i.e., the <span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>metadata.docx</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span> file) is the metadata used to show the meanings of the column variables in each table.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
