title: Leaf architecture and functional traits for 122 species at the University of California at Berkeley botanical garden

description: The data set contains leaf venation architecture and functional traits for
 a phylogenetically diverse set of 122 plant species (including ferns,
 basal angiosperms, monocots, basal eudicots, asterids, and rosids)
 collected from the living collections of the University of California
 Botanical Garden at Berkeley (37.87 °N, 122.23 °W; CA, USA) from February
 to September, 2021. The sampled species originated from all continents,
 except Antarctica, and are distributed in different growth forms (aquatic,
 herb, climbing, tree, shrub). The functional dataset comprises 31
 (mechanical, hydraulic, anatomical, physiological, economical, and
 chemical) traits and describes six main leaf functional axes (hydraulic
 conductance, resistance and resilience to damages caused by drought and
 herbivory, resilience to damages, mechanical support, and construction
 cost), as well as how architecture features vary across venation networks.
 Our trait dataset is suitable for (1) functional and architectural
 characterization of plant species; (2) identification of venation
 architecture-function trade-offs; (3) investigation of evolutionary trends
 in leaf venation networks, and (4) mechanistic modeling of leaf function.

description: Leaf venation architecture and functional
 traits were measured on 122 species of ferns and angiosperms species
 collected from the UCBG living collections. The sampled species are
 distributed among 112 families and 56 orders, and include species in
 different plant clades (ferns, basal angiosperms (including ANITA and
 magnoliids), monocots, basal eudicots, rosids, and asterids), with
 different growth forms (aquatic, herb, climbing, tree, shrub) and from all
 continents, except Antarctica. Our sampling approach aimed to maximize
 both the phylogenetic coverage and the evolutionary
 distinctiveness. For each of the
 122 species, we either sampled branches (&gt; 1 meter long branch)
 from a single individual per species in the case of woody species, or from
 1-5 whole individuals in the case of herbaceous species. Samples were
 collected in the morning (9-11 AM), brought to a UCBG research greenhouse,
 re-cut under water, re-hydrated overnight, and then used for the
 measurement of leaf architecture and functional traits. As most of the
 leaf traits measured in this study are destructive, we used different
 leaves for the measurement of each trait. To describe how efficiently water flows through the
 leaf venation network, we measure the maximum leaf hydraulic conductance
 (Kleaf max, mmol m-2 s-1 MPa-1). Kleaf max measurements were performed on
 3-10 fully re-hydrated (leaf water potential &gt; -0.5 MPa) and mature
 leaves per species (N = 122 species) using the evaporative flux method
 with a pressure-drop flow meter. In addition to Kleafmax, we also measured
 maximum assimilation rate (Amax, µmol m-2 s-1) and maximum stomatal
 conductance rate to water vapor (gsmax, mmol m-2 s-1) as proxies for flow
 efficiency. Amax and gsmax were measured on 3-4 intact leaves per species
 (N = 34 species) using a portable photosynthesis analyzer (LI-COR 6800,
 LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA). Measurements were conducted between 10 AM and 3
 PM during sunny and cool days in November 2021. To obtain the maximum
 values of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, we set the LI-COR
 environmental parameters as follow: 1,200 µmol m-2 s-1 photosynthetic
 photon flux density, 25 °C leaf temperature, 0.7 kPa vapor pressure
 deficit, and 412 mmol mol-1 CO2 concentration. Measurements were initiated
 by selecting mature and sunny exposed leaves, which were then sealed in
 the LI-COR leaf chamber.  To
 describe the network ability to avoid physical damage caused by embolisms
 (i.e. formation and propagation of air bubbles inside the xylem vessels)
 we measured the leaf water potentials inducing 50% (P50, MPa) and 88% loss
 (P88, MPa) of leaf hydraulic conductance. To obtain P50 and P88 values, we
 constructed vulnerability curves using the EFM method. To describe the
 xylem resistance to implosion (i.e. resistance to collapse of xylem cell
 walls under negative pressure), we measured the cell implosion safety
 index (ISI, dimensionless) from leaf cross-sectional anatomical images of
 all 122 species. To describe the network ability to avoid physical damage
 caused by herbivores, we measured punch strength (PS, kN m-2), punch
 specific strength (PSS, kN m-2 m-1), work to punch (WP, J m-2), specific
 work to punch (SWP, kJ m-2 m-1), shear strength (SS, MN m-2), work to
 shear (WS, J m-1 ), and specific work to shear (SWS, kJ m-2). While the
 shear and punch strength describes the maximum stress at which the leaf
 cracks (due to the shearing or punching forces), the specific work to
 shear and specific work to punch, indicates the amount of work done, or
 energy required, to shear or to punch a leaf per unit leaf thickness. To
 quantify species capacity to resist herbivory via chemical defenses (i.e.
 via production of secondary metabolites) we also quantified the total
 phenols (Phe) in dried leaves using the Folin–Ciocalteu (F–C)
 method.  To describe the
 network's ability to maintain flow after physical damages have
 occurred, we measured the change in Kleaf (ΔKleaf) after simulated
 herbivory. To simulate herbivory, we performed two different treatments
 (midrib and lamina) by either cutting the leaf midrib (and keeping the
 lamina intact) or by cutting the leaf lamina. 48 hours after the damage,
 we excised the damaged leaves and measured Kleaf using the EFM
 method. To describe venation
 network capacity to support the leaf upright against gravity, wind and
 other bending forces, we measured the leaf flexural stiffness (Σ, mN m-2
 m-1) and the leaf modulus of elasticity (ε, MN m-2) by conducting 3-point
 bending tests using the UTM machine (Test stand ES30, force gauge M5-20,
 bending fixtures G1095-97, Mark-10, Copiague, NY, USA). To describe the total amount of resources invested
 in constructing the leaf, we measured leaf mass per area (LMA, g m-2),
 specific leaf area (SLA, m-2 kg-1), leaf dry mass content (LDMC, mg g-1)
 following standard protocols. To
 obtain leaf venation architecture traits, we first pressed fresh leaves
 until flat and gently removed trichomes and spores (if present) under a
 dissecting microscope.  Next, we placed the pressed and cleaned leaf
 samples inside a labeled mesh envelope and subjected them to standard
 chemical processes of clearing and staining. The cleared leaf samples were
 imaged using a 100 mm macro objective lens (Tokina, Huntington Beach, CA,
 USA) and color camera (EOS 6D, Canon, Southend-on-Sea, UK). The leaf
 cleared images were analyzed in Matlab (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) using
 LeafVeinCNN software versions 1.0.7 and newer. LeafVeinCNN relies on an
 ensemble of three convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically
 segment veins and produce a spatial graph representation of the entire
 venation network. After segmenting and producing the spatial graphs of the
 entire leaf venation network, LeafVeinCNN calculates several single-scale
 venation architecture traits to describe the architectural characteristics
 of all veins (edges), nodes (point of connection between two or more
 veins), areoles or loops (regions wholly enclosed by veins, or enclosed by
 veins and leaf boundary), and polygonal areas (area inside the areole) in
 the network. LeafVeinCNN also uses hierarchical loop decomposition (HLD)
 algorithms to extract multiscale venation statistics, which describe how
 the venation network architecture vary across vein spatial scales (i.e.
 across vein sizes).

The dimensions (thickness and/or width) of leaf samples used during the mechanical tests were measured with a digital caliper (01407A, NEIKO Electronic Digital Caliper, China) and manually recorded in a datasheet paper (see “DataS1/datasheets/UTM_datasheet.png”).  **Leaf hydraulic traits:** pressures in the EFM system (used to measure Kleaf max, P50, P88, and ?Kleaf) were automatically recorded at every second with two pressure transducers (model PX26-001GV, Omega Engineering, Norwalk, CT, USA) interfaced to a data logging system (U6 USB, Labjack, Lakewood, CO, USA) in DAQFactory express ([https://www.azeotech.com/j/downloads.html](https://www.azeotech.com/j/downloads.html)) version 16.1 (Azoetech Inc., 2019), and then exported as CSV files. CSV files were then compiled into three CSV files containing the pressure measurements used to calculate Kleaf max (“DataS1/venation_function/hydraulics/UCBG_venation_kmax.csv”), ?Kleaf (“DataS1/venation_function/hydraulics/UCBG_venation_Dkleaf.csv”), and P50/P88 (“DataS1/venation_function/hydraulics/UCBG_venation_VC.csv”). The initial (P0_MPa) and final leaf water potentials (Pf_MPa) measured using a pressure chamber (model 1505D, PMS, Albany, OR, USA) were manually recorded on a printed datasheet paper (see “DataS1/datasheets/EFM_datasheet.png”). The leaf (L_temp_C) and water temperatures (W_temp_C), the color and length of the PEEK tubings (Rtube), and the start and end time of each EFM measurement were also recorded in the same datasheet. Leaf area (used to calculate Kleaf normalized by area) was obtained by scanning the leaves and using the ImageJ software ([https://imagej.nih.gov/](https://imagej.nih.gov/)) version 1.53t and ‘leafarea’ macro ([https://github.com/bblonder/leafarea](https://github.com/bblonder/leafarea)) to obtain the leaf area, which were also manually recorded in the same printed datasheet paper. **Leaf anatomical traits:** microscopic images of the leaf cross-sections were obtained with a camera (DS-Fi1, Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) connected to a microscope (DM 2000, Leica, Nußloch, Germany) and saved in TIFF format. Those images were analyzed in ImageJ ([https://imagej.nih.gov/](https://imagej.nih.gov/)) version 1.53t, for the measurement of xylem cell wall minimum and maximum diameters and double wall thickness. Those measurements were saved in a CSV file (“DataS1/venation_function/UCBG_venation_anatomy.csv”). **Leaf physiological traits:** were obtained with a photosynthesis analyzer (LI-COR 6800, LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA). Log files were saved in CSV format (see “DataS1/venation_function/LICOR_logs”). **Leaf economic traits:** leaf fresh (wet_leaf) and dry mass (dry_leaf) were measured in mg with a precision scale (0.001g; B2-Series, VWR, Radnor, PA, USA) and manually recorded in a printed datasheet paper (“DataS1/datasheets/Economic_datasheet.png”). The number of leaves (n_leaf), the date when the samples were stored in the oven to dry (oven_in) and the leaf areas (area_leaf) were also recorded in this same datasheet. Leaf area was obtained by scanning the leaves and using the ImageJ software ([https://imagej.nih.gov/](https://imagej.nih.gov/)) version 1.53t and ‘leafarea’ macro ([https://github.com/bblonder/leafarea](https://github.com/bblonder/leafarea)). **Leaf venation form traits:** leaf cleared images were obtained with a 100 mm macro objective lens (Tokina, Huntington Beach, CA, USA) and color camera (EOS 6D, Canon, Southend-on-Sea, UK) and saved as PNG files (“DataS1/venation_form/images”). Leaf images were imported to  LeafVeinCNN software and the leaf venation form traits for veins, nodes, areoles, polygons and HLD (multiscale statistics) were extracted and saved as CSV files (“DataS1/venation_form/data”).
