Foliar N and C isotope composition, bulk elemental N and C composition, and leaf mass per area (LMA) for leaves sampled from the Parque Natural Metropolitano (PNM), Panama, from January to April 2022 are presented. Measurements were made on leaves from 17 different tree, shrub and liana species, from sunlit canopy and understory locations on 8 vertical profiles. Full sample details and leaf area index (LAI) from the vertical profiles at PNM are also included in the data package. The aim of this measurement campaign was two-fold: to improve our understanding of the vertical variation in leaf-level water use efficiency, and to improve models which can predict leaf traits from leaf contact spectral measurements. Biochemistry data and sample metadata are presented in .csv files. The original isotopic data report, which includes details about standards and data accuracy, is provided in .xlsx format. Data and metadata meet the ESS-DIVE reporting format requirements for file level metadata (FLMD) and comma separated values (csv). The protocol details are provided as pdf documents. In addition to foliar biochemistry data reported here these samples were also used for measurement of leaf gas exchange, and leaf optical properties. These data can be linked using the unique sample ID and are provided in separate data packages (NGT0192 and NGT0193).
