For this purpose, we measured and compiled an extensive dataset of leaf inclination angles for 138 deciduous broadleaf woody species commonly found in temperate and boreal ecoclimatic regions. We released an R routine to calculate leaf inclination angle statistics, leaf inclination angle distribution type and G-function from measured leaf inclination angles, which can be used to parametrize optical measurements of light transmittance and for radiative transfer modeling purposes. The leaf inclination angle distribution type can be also used as a plant functional trait to understand light use and photosynthetic plant strategies and to perform functional diversity analyses. Provide species-specific parameters to characterize leaf inclination angle distribution and G-function in temperate and boreal broadleaf woody species which can be used in radiative transfer applications and modeling CHIANUCCI Francesco CREA-AA null via della Navicella 2-4 Rome 00184 Italy fchianucci@gmail.com PISEK Jan Tartu Observatory Tõravere Tartuuma 61602  Estonia janpisek@gmail.com RAABE Kairi Tartu Observatory Tõravere Tartuuma 61602  Estonia kairi.raabe@gmail.com MARCHINO Luca CREA-FL viale S.
