Abstract

This data package contains data that were used to support conclusions drawn in “Growth strategies and threshold responses to water deficit modulate effects of warming on tree seedlings from forest to alpine”, by Lazarus, Castanha et al. 2017. Data were collected at field sites within the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment (ATWE) on Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA, and at the U.S. Geological Survey laboratory located in Boise, Idaho. This archive contains comma-separated-values (.csv) files, as well as the same files in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) format, which can be opened by either Microsoft Excel, R, or any simple text editor program. There are two types of geospatial data files: .kml and ESRI shapefiles (.shp). The kml files contain placemarks, which can be opened by Google Earth, or Google Maps. The ESRI shapefiles can be opened by any geographic information system application that can read shapefiles, including ESRI's entire ArcGIS suite, and QGIS. We asked whether and how tree species differences in response to water deficit relates to their establishment along the gradient from forest to alpine. To do this, we compared growth and moisture stress responses in first-year seedlings of three species planted in common gardens subject to a factorial of heatingmore »« less

This combination of an elevation gradient alongside warming and watering treatments enabled us to observe species differences in seedling responses to a broad set of climatic conditions.Entire seedlings were harvested at c. 3- and again at 9 weeks of age following germination/emergence in the experimental plots, and we then measured dry mass (DM) of above and belowground parts, root length, root mass fraction (RMF), relative growth rates (RGRs) from seed to 3 weeks and from 3 to 9 weeks, turgor-loss point (TLP), and photosynthetic WUE (as δ13C).

Growth strategies and threshold responses to water deficit modulate effects of warming on tree seedlings from forest to alpine

Journal Article Lazarus, Brynne E. ; Castanha, Cristina ; Germino, Matthew J. ; ... - Journal of Ecology

Predictions of upslope range shifts for tree species with warming are based on assumptions of moisture stress at lower elevation limits and low-temperature stress at high-elevation limits. However, recent studies have shown that warming can reduce tree seedling establishment across the entire gradient from subalpine forest to alpine via moisture limitation. Warming effects also vary with species, potentially resulting in community shifts in high-elevation forests. We examined the growth and physiology underlying effects of warming on seedling demographic patterns. We evaluated dry mass (DM), root length, allocation above- and below-ground, and relative growth rate (RGR) of whole seedlings, and theirmore »« less

Data from: "Responses of alpine plant communities to climate warming"

Dataset Winkler, Daniel E. ; Lubetkin, Kaitlin C. ; Carrell, Alyssa A. ; ...

The Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment (ATWE) was a common garden-climate manipulation experiment set up across an elevation gradient in Niwot Ridge, in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, USA. The project sought to learn more about the effects of climate change on alpine and subalpine ecosystems, namely tree species ranges and alpine plant communities. Plots were experimentally manipulated using infrared heaters set up to warm plots to temperatures comparable to those projected for the year 2100. Other treatments include watering, and a combination of watering and heating. Three sites were set up at different elevations to study threemore »« less
