Title: SPRUCE Photosynthesis and Respiration of Picea mariana and Larix laricina in SPRUCE Experimental Plots, 2019

Abstract

This data set contains physiological, morphological, and chemical measurements of the two dominant coniferous species, Picea mariana and Larix laricina, in August 2019 (2019-08-20 to 2019-08-22) at the SPRUCE (Spruce and Peatland Responses under Changing Environments) experiment site in the Marcell Experimental Forest in northern Minnesota, USA. These observations help to assess the effects of whole ecosystem scale warming and elevated CO2 concentrations on peatland ecosystems. Measurements include light-saturated photosynthesis and foliar dark respiration measurements under standard conditions and growth conditions involving varying temperatures and atmospheric CO2 concentrations, as well as leaf morphology measurements (leaf mass per unit leaf area) and nitrogen content based on mass and leaf area. Net photosynthesis and dark respiration measurements were taken using portable photosynthesis systems (LI6400XT, LI6800, LI-COR Biosciences, USA). This data set contains one data file in comma separate (*.csv) format. Additional metadata are provided: one data dictionary and a file-level metadata file in comma separate format and a user guide in PDF (*.pdf) format.
