Data from repeated measurements of predawn and midday water potentials on Quercus agrifolia and Quercus douglassi trees at Sedgwick Reserve, CA, USA from 2022 - 2024. The data includes the following columns: Column name Description individual_id Unique numeric ID for individual tree site Name of site location, represents a spatially distinct group of trees species Quercus agrifolia and Quercus douglassii date date of data collection, in YYYYMMDD pd_md Indicates whether measurements were taken at predawn (pd, 1-3 hours before sunrise) or midday (md, within 1.5 hours of solar noon) water_potential_mean Mean water potential measurements for each tree/date/time (MPa). water_potential_sd Standard deviation of water potential measurements for each tree/date/time (MPa) water_potential_n Number of water potential measurements for each tree/date/time latitude Location of individual tree, latitude in decimal degrees longitude Location of individual tree, longitude in decimal degrees coord_system EPSG:4326-WGS 84 For details on collection methods, see: Boving I, Allen J, Brodrick PG, Chadwick KD, Trugman A, Anderegg LDL.
