Metadata configuration is currently under development for Photosynthesis / Gas Exchange Measurements. While the @PlantAWG will probably have the most to say on this topic, this isn’t necessarily a plant-specific assay. Ecologists and soil scientists take these sorts of measurements as well! Perhaps you have some experience with clamping leaves and taking measurements, or interpreting the data from these instruments. Here is the current draft of the metadata configuration template.
