Title: Raw Data published in PeerJ, 2021 for Crested Butte decomposition field study 2017-2019.

Abstract

This data package contains text files that describe geochemical measurements collected from 2017-2019 during isolated conifer needle decomposition field studies in Crested Butte, Colorado. The geochemical measurements were collected across three elevations (2,800–3,500 m) ranging from montane to subalpine ecoregions. The data sets within include total carbon and nitrogen content and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results for the initial needles collected in 2016 and after decomposition in 2019. Data collection results from August 2020 are also included from when the experimental plots were removed to understand final concentrations of soil extractable carbon and nitrogen content as well as mass balances from litter bag deployments. Soil porewater results are also provided from 2017-2019 for DOC, TN, UV254, and specific UV absorbance (SUVA) analyses at 15 cm soil depth. Gas flux raw data provides CO2, CH4, N2O, and NH3 measurements above needle decomposition over the three 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 numbers PRJNA605259 and PRJNA715914. These data sets were generated to investigate the isolated decomposition of spruce and lodgepole conifer needles. The goal of this work was tomore » determine the roles of elevation, soil type, seasonal changes in soil moisture, and snowmelt timing on litter decomposition processes. Results from this work are detailed in the reference paper "Effect of elevation, season and accelerated snowmelt on biogeochemical processes during isolated conifer needle litter decomposition.
