Abstract

Soil cores were collected from twelve vegetation biomass plots at the Kougarok hillslope in late July of 2016. The sampled plots were located across six ecotypes present at this site (n=2 replicates per ecotype). Soil cores were separated into depth intervals in the field and frozen for transport to Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Laboratory sample processing of these soils generated data on soil texture, pH, gravimetric water content, bulk density, bulk soil %C and %N. Water extracts were performed on subsamples for determination of extractable total nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved organic carbon.

NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Soil Depth, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, Beginning 2016

Dataset Iversen, Colleen ; Breen, Amy ; Salmon, Verity ; ...

Soil depth was measured at the Kougarok site located on the Seward Peninsula using a thaw depth probe inserted into the ground until the point of contact with frozen soil or rock. Measurements were made at vegetation plots, intensive stations, and reference points. Three to four replicate measurements were made during the observation period and the presence of rocks was noted when possible. Dataset DOI: 10.5440/1346198; https://doi.org/10.5440/1346198
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Soil Temperature and Moisture, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016-2022

Dataset Iversen, Colleen ; Salmon, Verity ; Breen, Amy ; ...

Data includes soil temperature and soil moisture measured at the Kougarok hill slope located at Kougarok Road, Mile Marker 64. Most measurements are from monitoring stations with permanently installed probes though the data also includes single point measurements from handheld devices. Data collection began in July 2016 and is ongoing.
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Plant Aboveground Biomass, NPP and Traits, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, beginning 2016

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen ; Breen, Amy ; ...

Aboveground biomass was determined in twelve plots at the Kougarok hillslope site Kougarok Road, Mile Marker 64 (KG_MM64), Seward Peninsula, Alaska, from samples collected in late July of 2016. The sampled plots were located across six ecotypes present at this site (n=2 replicates per ecotype). Methods employed included destructive harvests to sample understory species (?Understory Clip plots?) and shrub surveys combined with existing allometric relationships to determine the aboveground biomass of tall shrub species (?Shrub Clip Plots?). Current year leaves and stems were separated to quantify net primary production of leaves and stems. This data package contains two CSV datamore »« less

Dataset Breen, Amy ; Iversen, Colleen ; Salmon, Verity ; ...

This dataset reports the characteristics of the dominant vegetation communities at the NGEE Arctic Kougarok field site, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64 on the Seward Peninsula. Selected plots were surveyed from 18-23 July 2016. Environmental data (e.g., elevation, slope, soil moisture regime, disturbance type and degree, mean canopy height, etc.) were also recorded for each plot. Elevation measurements were updated 2020-08-18. All plant species (vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens) were recorded along with their percent cover in the plots as determined visually by the lead author. Plots were chosen subjectively in areas of homogeneous and representative vegetation and varied inmore »« less
