We conducted an observational study of SLA in a mid-Atlantic (USA) coastal deciduous forest, taking advantage of a natural gradient in salinity along a tidal creek. Measured SLA of the 239 trees and seven species sampled ranged from Carya glabra (N = 6 trees, mean SLA = 277.9 ± 36.3 cm2 g-1) to Fagus grandifolia (N = 60, 321.9 ± 62.9 cm2 g-1). This work is in press at Forest Ecology and Management.This dataset has two files, "sla_data.csv" (the data) and "sla_metadata.txt" (the metadata). Both are plain-text files and can be read by most software such as text editors, R, Python, Excel, etc. The data file is comma-separated values with 11 columns and 239 rows of data. The metadata file has 11 rows, one for each data column, and giving a plain-text description for each column and any associated units.
