Title: PiTS-1: Carbon Partitioning in Loblolly Pine after 13C Labeling and Shade Treatments

Abstract

The Partitioning in Trees and Soil (PiTS) task was established with the objective of improving the C partitioning routines in existing ecosystem models by exploring mechanistic model representations of partitioning tested against field observations. We used short-term field manipulations of C flow, through 13CO2 labeling, canopy shading and stem girdling, to dramatically alter C partitioning, and resultant data are being used to test model representation of C partitioning processes in the Community Land Model (CLM4 or CLM4.5). The research was conducted on individual trees within a small existing stand of planted Pinus taeda L.(loblolly pine) on the University of Tennessee Forest Resources Research and Education Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Timing and magnitude of C partitioning through a young loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stand using ¹³C labeling and shade treatments

Journal Article Warren, Jeffrey M. ; Iversen, Colleen M. ; Garten, Jr., Charles T. ; ... - Tree Physiology

The dynamics of rapid changes in carbon (C) partitioning within forest ecosystems are not well understood, which limits improvement of mechanistic models of C cycling. Our objective was to inform model processes by describing relationships between C partitioning and accessible environmental or physiological measurements, with a special emphasis on short-term C flux through a forest ecosystem. We exposed eight 7-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees to air enriched with ¹³CO₂ and then implemented adjacent light shade (LS) and heavy shade (HS) treatments in order to manipulate C uptake and flux. The impacts of shading on photosynthesis, plant water potential,more »« less

Soil Respiration and Microbial Biomass from Soil Incubations with 13C Labeled Additions

Dataset Kluber, L. A. ; Phillips, J. R. ; Singh, S. ; ...

This data set provides the respiration and soil microbial biomass data from a series of short and long-term laboratory incubation experiments with 13C labeled substrates to examine how plant communities (forest vs. grassland), edaphic properties, and microbial communities influence C cycling and the long-term fate of C in soil systems. Paired forest and grassland soils from four locations were incubated with 13C labeled glucose in a short-term (144 hours) study while 13C labeled cellulose was added to soils used in the long-term (729 days) study. Soil respiration, microbial biomass, and soil 13C values were monitored throughout the study. Soils weremore »« less

Dataset Vaughn, Lydia ; Zhu, Qing ; Bimueller, Carolin ; ...

Measurements made from a 2014-2016 field glucose addition experiment. Dataset includes measurements of surface trace gas emissions (Delta13C of ecosystem respiration and source-partitioned surface CO2 flux, CH4 flux, and GPP), soil profile information (concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and soil microbial biomass carbon, Delta13C of soil organic matter and microbial biomass, gravimetric water content, and bulk density), soil mineral nitrogen availability, and field-measured soil temperature, air temperature and soil moisture. Experiment was conducted in a region of high-centered polygons on the BEO. Data will be available Summer 2018.
Growth of containerized loblolly pine with specific ectomycorrhizae after 2 years on an amended borrow pit

Journal Article Ruehle, J L - Reclam. Rev.; (United States)

A borrow pit with exposed subsoil in South Carolina was graded level and deep subsoiled. Plots were amended with processed sewage sludge or commercial fertilizer followed by a seeding with fescue. Container-grown loblolly pines colonized with Pisolithus tinctorius, Thelephora terrestris, or no ectomycorrhizae were planted by hand on the plots one year after site preparation. Two years after planting on sludge-amended plots, seedlings initially colonized with Pisolithus had greater height, root-collar diameter, and seedling volume (D/sup 2/H) than Thelephora or control seedlings. The means for these three growth parameters on seedlings planted on fertilized plots were no different between Pisolithusmore »« less
