ESI-FTICR-MS Analysis of Organic Matter during Incubations with Nitrogen Addition, Teller Road Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
This dataset contains the results of the molecular characterization of water-extractable organic matter collected during soil microcosm incubations of tundra soil. The microcosms contained soil collected in April 2017 from the NGEE Arctic Teller Road Site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) near Intensive Site 9 (?Toeslope?) and Intensive Site 5 (?Plateau?). The incubations were conducted under an atmosphere of N2 at 8°C for 55 days, with or without addition of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). Soils were extracted with deionized water and extracted using Bond Elut PPL cartridges prior to analysis. Molecular characterization was performed using electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI- FTICR-MS). Two data files are provided with this dataset. The first is the summary, by soil type and treatment, of the mass spectrometry results for formulas (as a % of the total) containing C, H, and O only, and with N, S, and other elements. These formulas were then grouped into nine biochemical classes of compounds based on O:C and H:C ratios. The second file provides soil sample characteristics and the processed high-resolution mass spectrometry results by soil type and treatment.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a 10-year research effort (2012-2022) to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy?s Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy?s Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
