Abstract

This data package contains litter decomposition data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and temperature gradient in northern Alaska. These data were produced from a litter bag experiment that took place from July 2017 to July 2018 and include mass loss and nitrogen loss decomposition metrics for both leaf and root litters. These raw data support a submitted manuscript that examines the variability in decomposition between shrub and graminoid leaf and root litters across a 1-year experiment across the graminoid-dominated Arctic tundra and reveals how deciduous shrub expansion affects litter decomposition in tundra ecosystems. Data are presented by site (n=5) and patch (shrub or sedge plot) in csv files. The site and plot location data and environmental measurement data are provided in Fraterrigo and Chen (2020). Additional methods regarding plot distribution and environmental measurements are in Chen et al. (2020) and Fraterrigo et al. (2024).

Arctic shrub root traits, northern Alaska, summer 2017 (Version 2.0)

Dataset Fraterrigo, Jennifer ; Chen, Weile

This data package contains root trait data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and temperature gradient in northern Alaska. The trait data were collected in July 2017 and include root architecture (root diameter and branching patterns), mycorrhizal colonization (%), nitrogen concentration (%), delta 15N (per mil), and vertical root biomass. These raw data support a submitted manuscript that examines the distribution and interspecific variations of absorptive root traits of shrubs and graminoids across the graminoid-dominated nutrient-poor arctic tundra and reveals how deciduous shrub expansionmore »« less

This data package contains leaf and size trait and environmental data collected from 170 plots of rapidly expanding shrub genera (Alnus, Betula, and Salix) and a widespread sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) along a latitudinal and climate gradient in northern Alaska. The trait data were collected in summer 2017 and include leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen concentration, leaf delta 15N, leaf delta 13C, shrub height, aboveground biomass, and the ratio of root biomass to aboveground biomass.

Sources and Variability of Nitrate on an Alaskan Hillslope Dominated by Alder Shrubs, Kougarok, Alaska, 2017 and 2018

Dataset McCaully, Rachael ; Arendt, Carli ; Newman, Brent ; ...

Data provided include results of analyses of soil pore-water, soil moisture, and leaf litter samples collected at a Kougarok Hillslope site dominated by alder shrubs (KG_MM64) in the Seward Peninsula, Alaska during July and September 2017 and 2018. Samples were from surface soils in close proximity to 5 alder patches, collected upslope, within, and downslope of the alder patches. Pore water was analyzed for a comprehensive set of anions, cations, elemental analyses, and oxygen and nitrogen isotopes. Soil samples were collected for soil moisture determination. Leaf litter extracts were analyzed for carbon and nitrogen content and carbon and nitrogen isotopes.more »« less

NGEE Arctic Plant Traits: Shrub Transects, Kougarok Road Mile Marker 64, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016-2017

Dataset Salmon, Verity ; Iversen, Colleen ; Thornton, Peter ; ...

Transect data is from point center quarter (PCQ) surveys for shrub density performed in July 2016 at the Kougarok site and in July 2017 at the Kougarok, Teller, and Council sites. For each sample point along the transects, moving averages for shrub density and shrub basal area are provided along with GPS coordinates. Average shrub height and active layer depth are recorded for each sample point as well. Target shrub species differ across the transects: some surveys targeted a mixture of tall shrub species while others targeted specific species. In 2017 insect damage was also quantified.
