1. The Morton Arboretum

We are collecting long-term leaf phenology data at The Morton Arboretum to determine seasonal patterns of leaf production in trees. This data on leaf phenology will be integrated with other ongoing data streams to create a connection between above- and below-ground tree processes. This data package contains raw and smooth outputs from phenology data, as well as extracted phenophase dates (i.e., start, peak, and end of season): the raw and smooth outputs from the PhenoCam GUI can be found in the "leafRaw.csv" and "leafSmooth.csv" files, respectively, and the extracted phenophase dates can be found in the "leafPhenophaseDates2019-2023.csv" file. Extracted phenophase dates for evergreen species in 2023 are currently unavailable, and the files will be updated once they are extracted. Additional information on units and other file-level metadata can be found within each data file's respective data dictionary, and metadata for each of the 23 surveyed plots can be found within the "Location_metadata.csv" file. While the "leafRaw.csv" and the "leafSmooth.csv" files contain all data for all species, the "leafPhenophaseDates2019-2023.csv" file currently excludes the dates for evergreen species in 2023. Another version of the file will be added as those dates are extracted.
