Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE) - Tropics

Kueppers, Lara ; Chambers, Jeffrey

The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments–Tropics, or NGEE-Tropics, is a ten-year, multi-institutional project aiming to fill the critical gaps in knowledge of tropical forest-climate system interactions. The overarching goal of NGEE-Tropics is to develop a predictive understanding of how tropical forest carbon balance and climate system feedbacks will respond to changing environmental drivers over the 21st Century. NGEE-Tropics’ grand deliverable is a representative, process-rich tropical forest ecosystem model, extending from bedrock to the top of the vegetative canopy-atmosphere interface, in which the evolution and feedbacks of tropical ecosystems in a changing climate can be modeled at the scale and resolution of amore »

Root-soil depth profile in Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico, February, 2019

Dataset Norby, Rich ; Cabugao, Kristine ; Yaffar, Daniela ; ...

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 phosphorusmore » content) were determined.« less
SPRUCE Manual Minirhizotron Images from Experimental Plots Beginning in 2013

Dataset Childs, J. ; Iversen, C.M. ; Latimer, J. ; ...

This data set consists of images of fine-root birth, growth, and death collected using non-destructive minirhizotron technology from a warming × CO2 enrichment experiment in a forested, ombrotrophic bog. Minirhizotron images were collected ~ weekly or bi-weekly beginning in 2013 in the 12 SPRUCE experimental plots in paired hummock and hollow microtopography. The dominant woody species in the bog, and the focus of our investigation, were trees Picea mariana and Larix laricina, and ericaceous shrubs Rhododendron groenlandicum and Chamaedaphne calyculata. In each of the 12 experimental plots, one pair of tubes was installed within a 1.5 m radius of sprucemore »« less
SPRUCE S1 Bog Fine-root Production and Standing Crop Assessed With Minirhizotrons in the Southern and Northern Ends of the S1 Bog

Dataset Iversen, C. M. ; Childs, J. ; Norby, R. J. ; ...

Fine roots contribute to ecosystem carbon, water, and nutrient fluxes through resource acquisition, respiration, exudation, and turnover, but are understudied in peatlands. This data set reports fine-root peak growth and standing crop measurements from a forested, ombrotrophic bog as determined using non-destructive minirhizotron technology. Minirhizotron images were collected throughout the growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 at the southern and northern ends of the S1 bog across gradients of tree density in paired hummock and hollow microtopography. The dominant woody species in the bog, and focus of the investigation, were trees Picea mariana and Larix laricina, and ericaceous shrubs Rhododendronmore » groenlandicum and Chamaedaphne calyculata. The data were derived from minirhizotron images where root length and diameter were measured on ~weekly images and used to calculate: (1) Annual fine-root production and peak standing crop in 2011 and 2012; (2) Seasonal fine-root phenology throughout the growing seasons of 2011 and 2012; and (3) The distribution of newly-produced fine-root length throughout the peat profile in 2011 and 2012. The measurements were made in the S1 Bog, a Picea mariana [black spruce] – Sphagnum spp. bog forest in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). These minirhizotron images were collected prior to the construction of the SPRUCE experimental plots.« less
