The data include four comma-delimited (CSV) files and one word document.
data1.csv file saves the raw data (including blade fresh mass, dry mass,
area, length, width, perimeter and other measures) of 10045 leaves from
101 species, varieties, forms, and cultivars of bamboo; data2.csv file
saves the results of the leaf dry mass per unit area (g/m2) comparison
among 101 data sets; data3.csv file saves the results of the quotient of
blade width to length comparison among 101 data sets; data4.csv file saves
the fitted results for the scaling relationships of blade dry mass vs.
surface area for 101 data sets; the word document (i.e., the metadata.docx
file) is the metadata, which is used to show the meanings of the column
variables in each table.
Leaves from a total of 101 species, varieties, forms, and cultivars of
bamboo were collected. data1.csv file provides the scientific
names [according to the Flora of China (Wu, Raven and Hong 2006) and
Bamboos of the World (Ohrnberger 1999)]. Leaves were randomly collected
from different locations within middle canopies without distinguishing
between sun or shade leaves during May-July of 2018. Samples were gathered
from at least three different healthy adult individuals that were similar
in size and age. Only mature leaves were collected and processed within 10
min in the field. Leaves were placed into large sealed polyethylene bags
containing wet paper to maintain moisture. The bags were stored in an ice
box to prevent decomposition even though the collection sites of most
materials in Nanjing were near the laboratory, and the entire processing
was completed within 2 h. Approximately 100 leaves were collected from
different conspecifics for each taxon and measured to ascertain leaf area,
width, length, fresh mass and dry mass. W/L and LMA were subsequently
calculated. Leaf lamina area and shape were recorded using a HP Scanjet
4850 scanner (Hewlett-Packard Company, Palo Alto, California). The images
were saved as bitmap images at a 200 dpi resolution. Adobe Photoshop
(version: CC 2017) was used to obtain a new layer of the leaf edge in a
black-white image (Shi et al. 2018). The M-function [using Matlab version
≥ 2009a developed by Shi et al. (2018) and Su et al. (2019)] was used to
extract the planar coordinates of the leaf edge from each black-white
image; the R script developed by Su et al. (2019) was then used to
calculate leaf area, length, width, perimeter and other measures. Leaves
were then dried in a ventilated oven at 80 °C for at least 72 h until
obtaining a constant dry mass, which was measured using an electronic
balance (ME204/02, Mettler Toledo Instrument (Shanghai) Co., Ltd,
Shanghai, China). References: Ohrnberger D (1999) The bamboos of the
