Title: Root responses to warming and hurricane disturbances in a wet tropical forest of Puerto Rico: R code and data

Abstract

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, there is also root data taken from cores and in-growth cores. Additionally, there is soil nutrient concentration data, soil microclimate, total leaf area, and canopy openness taken by Reed et al. 2020, and the TRACE census. Data files are in CSV format and the R code included in this package can be used with R 3.4.4 (R Core Team and contributors worldwide).
