<h1>Welcome to LeafWeb</h1>

<strong>Mission: </strong>LeafWeb is a SErvice-in-Exchange-for-Data-Sharing (SEEDS) Project.
|
|
The objective is to develop a global database of biochemical, physiological, and biophysical properties of
|
|
single leaves to support studies of plant functions and terrestrial carbon cycle modeling.
|
|
LeafWeb provides automated numerical analyses of leaf gas exchange measurements. With the approval of the user,
|
|
the data LeafWeb receives are preserved and captured. This effort is part of ongoing research and data management
|
|
activities in the area of climate change science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

|
<strong>Make your data count:</strong> As investigators use LeafWeb and contribute their data,
|
|
the resulting "global leaf database" will grow and be freely available from the
|
|
<a href="http://cdiac.ornl.gov/" target="_blank">Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center</a> (CDIAC).
|
|
The value of a particular set of leaf gas exchange measurements depends largely on supporting information about the leaf or leaves.
|
|
It is crucial to provide not just the gas exchange data but also complementary information necessary to interpret the data and put the leaf in context.

|
<strong>Analysis of leaf gas exchange measurements:</strong> The analysis involves fitting the
|
|
Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry (FvCB) model to the data for C3 plants with the newly developed
|
|
Exhaustive Dual Optimization (EDO) approach developed by <a href="/Content/Documents/aci_pce_final.pdf" target="_blank">Gu et al.</a> (2010).
|
|
Analysis capabilities for C4 plants are being developed. Users will be notified by e-mail when their anlysis results are available from the LeafWeb site.
