Leaf Nitrogen, Leaf Mass Area, Leaf Water Content, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017
- Brookhaven National Laboratory
Nitrogen and carbon content, leaf mass per area and leaf water content of leaves sampled from the NGEE Arctic Teller study site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska in 2017. Data is included for 13 species from the deciduous shrub, forb and graminoid plant functional types. See related dataset for leaf reflective spectra, sample photographs and dGPS locations. This data package includes leaf sample information and trait data (*.csv). Note that leaf nitrogen content analysis was performed on a subset of samples. Metadata files include data descriptions (_dd.csv) for tabular data and a key to species symbols used in data files. All included files are listed and described in NGA103_flmd.csv. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort 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).
