Title: Raw Data published in PeerJ, 2020 for Lower Subalpine needle decomposition field study 2017-2018

Abstract

This data package contains text files that describe geochemical measurements collected from 2017-2018 during isolated conifer needle decomposition field studies at the Lower Subalpine region of Washington Gulch in Crested Butte, CO. The files within include total carbon and nitrogen (CN) content and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results for the initial needles collected in 2016 and after decomposition in October 2018. DI water extractions were conducted with the initial harvested needles in 2016 to determine extractable dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), UV absorbance at 254 nm (UV254), and specific UV absorbance (SUVA). This dataset also includes soil extractable DOC, TN, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, total organic nitrogen (TON), and pH results from soil collections in 2017. Soil porewater results for DOC, TN, UV254, and SUVA analyses at 15 cm soil depth are also provided from 2017-2018. Gas flux raw data provides CO2, CH4, N2O, and NH3 measurements above needle decomposition over the two study years. Finally, soil samples for microbial DNA extractions were collected from the upper soil depth. This raw data is available in the NCBI SRA database under SRA accession number PRJNA605259. These datasets were generated to investigate the isolated decomposition of spruce and lodgepole conifer needles.more » The goal of this work was to understand how needle litter impacts terrestrial biogeochemical carbon and nitrogen cycling. Results from this work is detailed in the reference paper "A comparison of lodgepole and spruce needle chemistry impacts on terrestrial biogeochemical processes during isolated needle decomposition.
