Abstract

This data package contains root trait data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and temperature gradient in northern Alaska. The trait data were collected in July 2017 and include root architecture (root diameter and branching patterns), mycorrhizal colonization (%), nitrogen concentration (%), delta 15N (per mil), and vertical root biomass. These raw data support a submitted manuscript that examines the distribution and interspecific variations of absorptive root traits of shrubs and graminoids across the graminoid-dominated nutrient-poor arctic tundra and reveals how deciduous shrub expansion affects plant nutrient acquisition strategies in tundra ecosystems. Data are presented by site (n=5) and patch (shrub or sedge plot) in separate csv files. The location data are provided in the “plot coordinates” file; all other files contain the data in the file title. Detailed methods are in Chen et al. (2020).2023/07/20 Update: The latest version of this dataset publication is version 2.0. The latest version of the data package was updated to include the alder nodule biomass dataset (alder nodule biomass.csv) and associated metadata (metadata_alder nodule biomass.csv). The name of the previous metadata file was updated (metadata_ root traitsmore »« less

Arctic shrub size and leaf traits, northern Alaska, summer 2017 (Version 2.0)

Dataset Fraterrigo, Jennifer ; Chen, Weile

This data package contains leaf and size trait and environmental data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and climate gradient in northern Alaska. The trait data were collected in summer 2017 and include leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen concentration, leaf delta 15N, leaf delta 13C, shrub height, aboveground biomass, and the ratio of root biomass to aboveground biomass. These raw data support a submitted manuscript that examines the intraspecific variations of size, leaf and root traits of shrubs across the graminoid-dominated nutrient-poormore »« less
Arctic shrub and Eriophorum leaf and root decomposition, northern Alaska, 2017-2018

Dataset Fraterrigo, Jennifer ; Vozzo, Justin ; Chen, Weile

This data package contains litter decomposition data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and temperature gradient in northern Alaska. These data were produced from a litter bag experiment that took place from July 2017 to July 2018 and include mass loss and nitrogen loss decomposition metrics for both leaf and root litters. These raw data support a submitted manuscript that examines the variability in decomposition between shrub and graminoid leaf and root litters across a 1-year experiment across the graminoid-dominated Arctic tundra and revealsmore »« less
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Shrub Transects, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016-2017

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen ; Thornton, Peter ; ...

Transect data is from point center quarter (PCQ) surveys for shrub density performed in July 2016 at the Kougarok site and in July 2017 at the Kougarok, Teller, and Council sites. For each sample point along the transects, moving averages for shrub density and shrub basal area are provided along with GPS coordinates. Average shrub height and active layer depth are recorded for each sample point as well. Target shrub species differ across the transects: some surveys targeted a mixture of tall shrub species while others targeted specific species. In 2017 insect damage was also quantified.

NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Nodule Biomass, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen

Nodule biomass was measured within fifteen plots at the Kougarok hillslope site in June and July of 2017. The sampled plots were distributed across two ecotypes that contain the deciduous shrub Alnus viridis subsp. fruticosa (alder). Alder forms a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing Frankia bacteria living within root nodules. Nodule biomass per unit area was determined with extensive soil core collection under the alder canopy. Alder height and basal area were also recorded. This dataset contains one csv file and one pdf file.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models bymore »« less
NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Nitrogen fixation, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017-2018

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen

Rates of nitrogen (N) fixation with nodules of Alnus viridis subsp. fruticosa (alder) were measured at the Kougarok hillslope site in July of 2017 and 2018. Rates were calculated following incubation of excised nodules with 15N labeled N2 gas, as described in Anderson et al. (2004). Alder GPS coordinates, height and basal area were also recorded. This dataset contains one csv file and one pdf file.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate.
