Abstract

This dataset consists of sap flux and environmental data continuously collected in a stand of loblolly pine trees growing in a residential backyard in the northeast of Tallahassee in 2020-2022. The site received no regular irrigation or fertilizer inputs. Studied loblolly pine trees were about 84 years old and a part of a mixed species stand with several other tree species, with an understory of herbaceous plants, woody shrubs, and the mix of groundcovers. Some of the plantings received occasional irrigation, and the groundcover was regularly mowed. Sap flux was measured with Granier-type thermal dissipation probes at 1.35 m height in the outer 2 cm of sapwood. The dataset was collected as part of a study of Tallahassee urban forest transpiration.

General information

This dataset consists of sap flux and environmental data continuously collected in a stand of loblolly pine 
trees growing in a residential backyard in the northeast of Tallahassee. The site received no regular 
irrigation or fertilizer inputs. Studied loblolly pine trees were about 84 years old and a part of a mixed 
species stand with several other tree species, with an understory of herbaceous plants, woody shrubs, 
and the mix of groundcovers. Some of the plantings received occasional irrigation, and the groundcover 
was regularly mowed. Sap flux was measured with Granier-type thermal dissipation probes at 1.35 m 
height in the outer 2 cm of sapwood.

Abbreviations

PITA	Pinus taeda (loblolly pine)

DBH	diameter at breast height (~1.35 m)

d_s	sapwood depth

Io	intensity of incoming solar radiation (based on data from the Montford Middle WeatherSTEM 
weather station)

Temp	atmospheric temperature (measured every 30 min by a HOBO T/RH MX2302A Data Logger 
with external T/RH sensor covered by a solar radiation shield RS3-B (Onset Computer 
Corporation) and mount at 2 m height on the trunk of PITA-3)

RH	atmospheric relative humidity (measured every 30 min by a HOBO T/RH MX2302A Data 
Logger with external T/RH sensor covered by a solar radiation shield RS3-B (Onset Computer 
Corporation) and mount at 2 m height on the trunk of PITA-3)

vpd	atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (calculated using Temp and RH)

VWC	soil volumetric water content of the top 30 cm (measured by soil water content 
reflectometers (CS616; Campbell Scientific) every 30 s and averaged every 30 
min by CR3000 datalogger (Campbell Scientific)

Jo	sap flux (calculated using the open-source software Baseliner (Oishi et al., 2016) from voltage 
differences measured every 30 s by CR3000 datalogger (Campbell Scientific); the averages 
were calculated and logged every 30 min)

E	transpiration (calculated as E = 6.4e-4*A_s*Jo, where A_s is sapwood area estimated from 
d_s)
