SPRUCE S1 Bog Pretreatment Seasonal Photosynthesis and Respiration of Trees, Shrubs, and Herbaceous Plants, 2010-2015

Dataset ·

This data set contains the empirical biochemical, morphological, and physiological data collected between 2010 and 2015 on an herb (Maianthemum trifolium), understory shrubs (Rhododendron groenlandicum, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Kalmia polifolia and Vaccinium angustifolium) and overstory trees (Picea mariana and Larix laricina) in the S1-Bog at the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in northern Minnesota, USA. Data reported include the measurements of photosynthetic light and CO2 response curves, and dark respiration, as applied to standardized curve-fitting programs to estimate biochemical parameters. These data were collected prior to the initiating of heating and elevation of CO2 for the SPRUCE (Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments) experiment in the S1-Bog to assess the response of northern peatland ecosystems to increases in temperature and exposures to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
