Abstract

This dataset contains net ecosystem respiration and the isotopic composition of emitted methane (CH4) form flux chambers as well as anions and cations from ion chromatography. Samples were collected from the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) experimental site within the Marcell Experimental Forest in northern Minnesota, USA from June 2013 to June 2014 (2013-06-01 to 2014-06-30). This dataset were used in analyses in Zalman et al. (2018), which reported on the mechanisms controlling carbon (C) cycling rates and greenhouse gas emissions using a combination of biogeochemical and microbial approaches in three low pH, Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in northern Minnesota. In particular, biogeochemical parameters (CH4 and carbon dioxide (CO2) production potentials, porewater and gas CH4 and CO2 concentrations, and associated isotopic signatures), soil chemistry (organic acids and phenolics), and microbial community characteristics (quantification of methanogen and methanotroph abundance and activity) over a 1-year period in these three peatlands. The objective of this intensive study was to analyze biogeochemical and microbial characteristics of three outwardly similar low pH, Sphagnum-dominated peatlands to determine key characteristics that could explain differences in anaerobic C cycling and net CH4 flux despite their close geographical proximity and similar soil pH and plant communities.

SPRUCE Methylotrophic Methanogenesis in Sphagnum-dominated Peatland Soils- CH4 and CO2 Production in Laboratory Incubations

Dataset Zalman, Cassandra ; Meade, Nicole ; Chanton, Jeff ; ...

This study investigated the potential for methylotrophic methanogenesis in three Sphagnum-dominated peatland soils in northern Minnesota. Soils collected from 2014-06-01 to 2015-06-30 were amended with 13C-labeled traditional substrates (acetate and sodium bicarbonate/ H2) and methylated substrates (methanol, monomethylamine ("MMA"), dimethylsulfide ("DMS")) and monitored for 13C-CH4, 13C-CO2, and net CH4 and CO2 production in laboratory incubations. The peatlands included in the study were (1) the S1 Bog, home to the SPRUCE Experiment and located at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF, U.S. Forest Service), (2) Bog Lake Fen, also located at the MEF, and (3) Zim Bog.

SPRUCE Stability of Peatland Carbon to Rising Temperatures: Supporting Data

Dataset Wilson, R. M. ; Hopple, A. M. ; Tfaily, M. M. ; ...

This data set reports the results of extensive field measurements and laboratory analyses of samples from the SPRUCE experiment. Results indicate that ecosystem-scale warming of over 2 m of peat exponentially increased CH4 emissions —but not ecosystem respiration of CO2. Multiple lines of evidence, including incubations and in situ analyses of 14C, dissolved gases, and microbial community metabolic potential, indicate that CH4 emissions increased due to surface processes and not degradation of deeper buried carbon. The supporting data provided include the summarized and aggregated data used to generate the six figures in the main text of the paper and themore » 12 supplementary figures.« less
SPRUCE: Sphagnum Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Concentrations in the SPRUCE Experimental Plots

Dataset Norby, R. J. ; Childs, J. ; Brice, D.

This data set reports the concentrations of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in capitula, current year stems, and one-year old stem tissue of Sphagnum from 2016-2018. Measurements are continuing and new data will be appended as they become available. Three types of Sphagnum were sampled -- S. angustifolium/fallax from hummocks (AngFal_Hum), S. angustifolium/fallax from hollows (AngFal_Hol), and S. magellanicum from hummocks (Mag_Hum) from SPRUCE experimental study plots. Measurements were made in 10 enclosures comprising five levels of temperature elevation in ambient CO2 and five levels in elevated CO2. Measurements also were made in two ambient (no enclosure) plots.more »« less
SPRUCE Warming Promotes the Use of Organic Matter as an Electron Acceptor in a Peatland: Supporting Data

Dataset Rush, Jessica ; Zalman, Cassandra ; Woerndle, Glenn ; ...

These data are provided in support of the publication: Warming Promotes the Use of Organic Matter as an Electron Acceptor in a Peatland (Rush et al., 2021). Rush et al. (2021) reported on the effect of temperature on microbial organic matter reduction at the SPRUCE study site and S1 bog. Specifically, electron shuttling capacity (ESC), CH4 production, CO2 production, and acetate concentration were measured to explore both direct and indirect (through changes in soil quality and water-table level) effects of warming on microbial activity. Samples were collected in the summer of 2016 and 2017 depending on the experiment. This datasetmore »« less
