Title: Belowground respiration, root traits, and soil characteristics of an East Tennessee deciduous forest, 2019-2020

Abstract

This dataset contains empirical physiological, morphological, and chemical data of root systems, and elemental, nutrient content for soils collected on forty individuals of eight temperate tree species, between June 2019 and July 2020 at The University of Tennessee Forest Research Center and Arboretum in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The project used a novel methodology to empirically derive estimates of the autotrophic and heterotrophic components of soil respiration in-situ. The project consists of two measurement approaches. The first set of measurements uses a standard approach for measuring specific root respiration on excised root systems. The second used “in-situ root trays” This dataset includes 10 data files in comma separated (*.csv) ASCII format. Data include measurements of leaf and root functional traits for excised root systems and for living root systems housed within in-situ root trays, data on soil carbon and nitrogen pools, in-situ measurements of soil moisture and temperature, data on soil respiration rates for in-situ root trays (both as soil mass-based fluxes, and soil-area based fluxes), and data on the geographic coordinates and tree sizes of study trees. Forty study trees of eight temperate tree species were studied (five individuals per species). Two in-situ root trays were installed per species, eachmore »« less

Two in-situ root trays were installed per species, each housing one entire root system comprising <3 root orders, and still being attached to the tree via transportive root. All respiration measurements were conducted with the Li-6800 portable photosynthesis system (Li-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA). Root respiration measurements of excised root tissues were made using the Li-6800 and the Walz 3010-GWK1 gas exchange chamber (Heinz Walz GmbH, Effeltrich, Germany). Root scan images were analyzed using WinRHIZO. These images are companion files to this dataset and are contained in two compressed (*.zip) folders.},

Root biomass and traits across four lowland Panamanian forests from 0 - 1.2 m soil depths

Dataset Cordeiro, Amanda L. ; Cusack, Daniela F. ; Dietterich, Lee H. ; ...

Fine roots are key to ecosystem-scale nutrient, carbon (C), and water cycling, yet our understanding of fine root traits variation within and among tropical forests, one of Earth’s most C-rich ecosystems, is limited. We characterized root biomass, morphology, nutrient content, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization in 10 cm increments to 1.2 m depth across four distinct lowland Panamanian forests. The datasets provided include a .xlsx file for fine root characteristics across 10 cm increment depths to 1.2 m collected from late 2017 to 2018 across four different forests. Root characteristics include live fine root biomass, dead fine root biomass,more »« less
NIST: Soil Respiration, Moisture, Temperature, Chemistry; and Fine Root Measurements from a Transect Through a Forest Edge, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 2017-2021

Dataset Abramoff, Rose Z. ; Warren, Jeffrey ; Harris, Jessica ; ...

This dataset contains soil respiration, moisture, temperature, and chemistry, as well as fine root measurements from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Forested Optical Reference for Evaluating Sensor Technology (FOREST) research facility at Gaithersburg, Maryland. Measurements were taken at an existing transect array that begins in a grassy meadow, crosses a sharp forest edge, then a small stream, and finally extends upwards in the interior of the forest at the top of a ridge. There are 6 different landscape positions replicated across three transects in the array. Soil respiration was measured during growing seasons in 2017-2019 (2017-06-02 tomore »« less
Soil properties and root characteristics across four lowland Panamanian forests from 0 - 1 m soil depths

Dataset Cordeiro, Amanda L. ; Cusack, Daniela F. ; Dietterich, Lee H. ; ...

Objectives:Fine roots significantly influence ecosystem-scale cycling of nutrients, carbon (C), and water, yet there is limited understanding of how fine root traits vary across and within tropical forests, some of Earth's most C-rich ecosystems. The biomass of fine roots can impact soil carbon storage, as root mortality is a primary source of new carbon to soils. A positive relationship has been observed between fine root biomass and soil carbon stocks in Panama (Cusack et al 2018). Beyond biomass, root characteristics like specific root length (SRL) could also influence soil carbon, as roots with higher SRL are less dense and thinner,more »« less
Functional variability in specific root respiration translates to autotrophic differences in soil respiration in a temperate deciduous forest

Journal Article Aaron Hogan, J. ; Labbé, Jessy L. ; Carrell, Alyssa A. ; ... - Geoderma

CO₂ release from forest soils (R_s) is a prominent flux in the global carbon cycle. Rs is derived from roots (autotrophic respiration, R_a) and microbial (heterotrophic) respiration and is highly dynamic, as it depends on edaphic and environmental conditions as well as root functional traits and microbial community composition. It is unclear how root functional traits affect root and microbial respiration rates; however, their consideration may help parse out the relative contributions of root and microbial respiration to R_s. At a temperate forest site, root systems of 3–4 functional root orders and their surrounding surface soil were carefully excavated 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
