Abstract

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 associated with complex topography in wet tropical forest soils.

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
Porewater data across a catena in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico.

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
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
Processed Soil Respiration at the TRACE experimental Warming project, Aug 2015 - Sep 2017, Sabana, Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Dataset Wood, Tana ; Reed, Sasha ; Cavaleri, Molly ; ...

This data package contains processed measurements of soil carbon dioxide (CO₂) efflux collected using LI-COR LI-8100 soil respiration chambers at the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) located at the Sabana Field Research Station near Luquillo, Puerto Rico. The TRACE site is a mature, closed-canopy tropical wet forest within the Luquillo Experimental Forest. These data quantify soil surface CO₂ fluxes from both ambient (control) and experimentally warmed plots to evaluate how long-term soil warming affects belowground carbon cycling in tropical ecosystems. The data files include time-series tables of CO₂ flux (µmol CO₂ m⁻² s⁻¹), soil temperature (°C), and ancillarymore »« less
Plot-level soil temperature and moisture data for a tropical forest understory warming experiment (TRACE) in Luquillo, Puerto Rico, 2015-2023

Dataset Wood, Tana E. ; Cavaleri, Molly A. ; Reed, Sasha C.

The Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) is a forest understory warming experiment aimed at understanding how increased temperature and disturbance affect carbon cycling and ecosystem processes in tropical forests. This dataset contains plot-level soil temperature and moisture data from six experimental plots at TRACE; three plots are experimentally warmed with infrared heaters to a target understory temperature of 4˚C above ambient, and three plots are un-warmed control plots. Each plot has five Campbell Scientific CS655 soil sensors: three at a depth of 0-10 cm, one at a depth of 20-30 cm, and another at a depth of 40-50more »« less
