Abstract

With an objective of associating the distribution of roots in the soil profile with functional attributes related to phosphorus nutrition, 1-m cores were collected from sites in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico, in February, 2019. The sampled sites were ridge and valley locations at El Verde and Icacos with soils that differ in parent material and phosphorus fertility. Depth profiles of soil physical characteristics (bulk density, moisture content, and particle size distribution), phosphorus content (total phosphorus, organic phosphorus, and resin or available phosphorus), soil and root-associated phosphatase activity, and fine-root traits (biomass, specific root length and area, and phosphorus content) were determined.

Soil chemistry data across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico

Dataset Sihi, Debjani ; López-Lloreda, Carla ; M. Brenner, Julia ; ...

Landscape topography can influence biogeochemical processes across the wet tropical forest soils. This dataset contains soil chemistry data such as pH and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from April 1, 2017 to May 1, 2018 across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. The attached CSV file contains information on sampling date, location (El Verde field station) in LEF, topographic positions (ridge, slope, and valley, respectively), field replicate number, laboratory replicate number, water extractable pH, CaCl2 extractable pH, and DOC (unit: mg/g). Overall, soil pH values were highest in the valley, followed by slope, and lowest in the ridgemore »« less
Soil Chamber Fluxes (CO2 and CH4) across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico

Dataset Sihi, Debjani ; Salazar Ortiz, Mónica ; Mayes, Melanie ; ...

Wet tropical forest soils contribute significantly to global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Landscape topography largely influences the rate of CO2 versus CH4 emissions from wet tropical forest soils. This dataset contains soil chamber fluxes of CO2 and CH4 from 2016 (April 5 through July 18) across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Soil CO2 fluxes followed the trend of ridge>slope>valley. However, soil CH4 emissions followed the opposite trend, where valley soils served as the major source of CH4 emissions. This dataset can improve our understanding of greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) emissions associatedmore »« less
Porewater data across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico.

Dataset Sihi, Debjani ; López-Lloreda, Carla ; M. Brenner, Julia ; ...

Landscape topography can influence biogeochemical processes in wet tropical forest soils. This dataset contains porewater concentrations of organic acid (acetate) from 2018 (February 22 to November 14) across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), Puerto Rico. The attached CSV file contains information on sampling date, location (El Verde field station) in LEF, topographic positions (ridge, slope, and valley, respectively), depth (unit: cm), and acetate concentration (unit: µM). Porewater concentrations of acetate were lower in the valley as compared to the ridge and slope topographic positions. This dataset can facilitate our understanding of the biogeochemical cycling of carbon andmore »« less
Metagenomic Characterization of Soil Microbial Communities in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (Puerto Rico) and Implications for Nitrogen Cycling

Journal Article Karthikeyan, Smruthi ; Orellana, Luis H. ; Johnston, Eric R. ; ... - Applied and Environmental Microbiology

The phylogenetic and functional diversities of microbial communities in tropical rainforests and how these differ from those of temperate communities remain poorly described but are directly related to the increased fluxes of greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide (N₂O) from the tropics. Toward closing these knowledge gaps, in this study we analyzed replicated shotgun metagenomes representing distinct life zones and an elevation gradient from four locations in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), Puerto Rico. These soils had a distinct microbial community composition and lower species diversity compared to those of temperate grasslands or agricultural soils. In contrast to the overallmore »« less
Root responses to warming and hurricane disturbances in a wet tropical forest of Puerto Rico: R code and data

Dataset Yaffar, Daniela

The purpose of this data was to generate a scientific article that describes the responses of tropical roots to a warming experiment and to the effect of two consecutive hurricanes in Puerto Rico (Yaffar et al. in review). This data is from 10 months of minirhizotron images taken every 2 weeks at the experimental warming Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) plots in Puerto Rico before and after Hurricanes Irma and Maria. This project has 3 warmed plots (plot 2,4,6) and 3 control plots (plot 1,3,5) with 2 minirhizotron tubes at each plot. As part of the data, theremore »« less
