Examining genome size and nutrient influence on plant damage patterns
Data was collected to examine whether and how plant genome size (GS) interacts with environmental nutrient additions to influence the amount and patterns of damage plants sustain from invertebrate herbivores and fungal pathogens. Plants were selected based on visual abundance in treatment plots in which nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), or NP combined had been annually added (Cont. is the abbreviation we used for the control plot with no nutrients added). Additionally, plant traits of percent foliar carbon (% C), percent foliar nitrogen (% N), and specific leaf area (SLA) were measured from all the same plants that damage values were observed from. Data was collected from 847 plants (626 forb individuals, 221 grass individuals) in eight grassland sites that are part of the Nutrient Network (https://nutnet.org), a globally distributed experiment in which plots have different nutrient amendment treatments that are administered identically to allow cross-site comparisons of the effects of nutrients on biodiversity patterning. The sites chosen varied along a north-south latitude, longitude, mean annual precipitation (MAP) and mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient in the United States. All field data was collected between May 2022 and August 2022.

Nutrient Loading and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assessments in Michigan Streams (2002-2021)
The assembled data package, including both nutrients and benthic macroinvertebrate assessments from stream monitoring sites in Michigan (USA), is part of the project entitled "Long-Term Nitrogen and Phosphorus Dynamics and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Temperate Streams." These datasets encompass records from January 1, 2002, until December 31, 2021, that were extracted from the Water Quality Portal (www.waterquality.us). We were aiming to examine the influence of landscape settings on the concentration of N and P constituents in streams and rivers, and determine the effects of land use on benthic macroinvertebrates in the interaction with these nutrients over 20 years. Records were cleaned and analyzed to determine the influence of land use settings on nutrient concentrations and benthic macroinvertebrate composition statewide. All data tables feature monitoring sites with sampling dates, identifiers, and GPS coordinates.

Long term response of arctic tussock tundra to thermal erosion features: A modeling analysis. Tussock tundra recovery after a thermal erosion event: saturating nutrients.
The Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model is used to simulate the recovery of Alaskan arctic tussock tundra to thermal erosion features (TEFs) caused by permafrost thaw and mass wasting. TEFs could be significant to regional carbon (C) and nutrient budgets because permafrost soils contain large stocks of soil organic matter (SOM) and TEFs are expected to become more frequent as climate warms. These simulations deal only with recovery following TEF stabilization and do not address initial losses of C and nutrients during TEF formation. To capture the variability among and within TEFs, we simulate a range of post-stabilization conditions by varying the initial size of SOM pools and nutrient supply rates. This file contains the results for 100 years of tussock tundra recovery after a thermal erosion event. This simulation is of TEF recovery under saturating nutrient conditions. Data is presented for day 250 of each year.
Impacts of Nutrient Availability on Calystegia Spithamaea at Harvard Forest 2013
Low bindweed (Calystegia spithamaea (L.) Pursh ssp. spithamaea, Convolvulaceae), is a low-growing perennial plant of the morning glory family that ranges from Georgia north to Nova Scotia. It is recorded from 3 extant and 8 historic stations in Massachusetts, and 18 total extant populations across New England, where it inhabits dry, open sites with sandy to rocky soils, including sandy roadsides and path edges, inland sandplains, power line rights-of-way, loose talus slopes, and gravel pits. Massachusetts lists the species as S1, Endangered. Factors promoting reproduction in this rare species are largely unknown. Although Calystegia spithamaea has been noted to produce short rhizomes, its ability to spread vegetatively had not been determined as of 2013. Sexual reproduction is very rare in extant New England populations; although herbarium specimens show flowers, fruits are rare and seeds have not been collected at any population. Field studies have been conducted since 2007 of a population of several thousand ramets of Calystegia spithamaea in a minimally managed field on the Army Corps of Engineers Birch Hill Dam property, Royalston, Massachusetts. The population occurs on excessively drained, sandy loam, which supports otherwise low plant diversity and appears to be nutrient-poor. We tested the hypothesis that nutrient limitation may hinder sexual reproduction and ramet growth in this species. From May to August 2013, a greenhouse study was conducted at Harvard Forest to determine the effects of nutrient availability on Calystegia spithamaea growth and reproduction: Ramets were excavated from the field and were found to be propagating on long rhizomes, confirming for the first time that the species is capable of at least limited asexual reproduction. Forty-eight ramets of Calystegia spithamaea were planted in pots in the greenhouse and randomly allocated to one of two treatments: control and nutrient-amendment with 20:20:20 N:P:K fertilizer. Five ramets from a ne
Microbial, Plant, and Soil Impacts on Soil Nutrient Cycling in Harvard Forest and Greater Boston 2021-2022
Microbes are the driving force behind nutrient cycling within soils, secreting enzymes necessary to break down organic matter, immobilizing nutrients and C, or transferring nutrients to plant hosts. Even though nutrients would almost never move through ecosystems without microbes, we know little about how their composition and activity is related to ecosystem nutrient cycling, and their importance relative to plant and soil abiotic factors. In this study, we sought to determine which commonly measured soil microbial community characteristics best explain soil N and P cycling, and the relative contributions of microbial, plant, and abiotic factors in explaining these processes.
Soil water content measurements and rainfall data for plots with experimentally altered precipitation and nutrient inputs at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 2011-ongoing
This dataset contains soil volumetric water content data collected starting in 2011 for a long-term precipitation and nutrient manipulation experiment at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, U.S.A. This experiment uses precipitation shelters and irrigation treatments to manipulate water inputs, and fertilization treatments to alter nitrogen input to 2.5 x 2.5 meter plots in a desert grassland. Soil sensors are installed at surface and deep soil layers in each plot and collect hourly averages of volumetric water content using a time-domain reflectometry method. This dataset contains daily averages. This is an ongoing study and the dataset will be updated yearly.
Lake Wingra Exclosure Experiment at North Temperate Lakes LTER: Nutrients 2005 - 2008
Starting in late summer 2005, Wisconsin Dept of Natural Resources (WDNR), Dane County, Friends of Lake Wingra (FOLW), and NTL-LTER initiated a 3-year experiment in Lake Wingra to test the response of the native macrophyte community to clearer water produced from a major carp reduction program. This demonstration-scale experiment includes the construction of a 1.0-hectare rectangular carp exclosure with its solid vinyl walls extending from the lake shoreline to a water depth of 2.9 meters. NTL-LTER conducts the routine limnological monitoring of the lake and exclosure and is leading the science evaluation of potential lake restoration activities. The exclosure experiment was terminated in the fall of 2008. The exclosure was removed from Lake Wingra at that time. Sampling is done both within the exclosure and at a control site located nearby in the littoral zone. The sample location within the exclosure is equidistant from the side walls and approximately 75 meters from the shore in a water depth of approximately 2.5 meters. The control site sample location is approximately 75 meters west of the exclosure sample site at the same approximate distance from shore and water depth. Samples are taken at the same time and on the same schedule as the NTL-LTER limnological sampling on Lake Wingra, e.g., biweekly spring through summer, every 4 weeks in the fall, and once during the winter depending on ice conditions. Parameters measured within the exclosure and at the control site include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, secchi depth and chlorophyll-a. Additional parameters measured only within the exclosure include total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate + nitrite nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, dissolved reactive phosphorus and dissolved reactive silica. Parameters characterizing the nutrient chemistry are measured at the surface within the exclosure in Lake Wingra. These parameters include total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate + nitrite nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, tota
Little Rock Lake Experiment at North Temperate Lakes LTER: Nutrients 1996 - 2000
The Little Rock Acidification Experiment was a joint project involving the USEPA (Duluth Lab), University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Wisconsin-Superior, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Little Rock Lake is a bi-lobed lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin, USA. In 1983 the lake was divided in half by an impermeable curtain and from 1984-1989 the northern basin of the lake was acidified with sulfuric acid in three two-year stages. The target pHs for 1984-5, 1986-7, and 1988-9 were 5.7, 5.2, and 4.7, respectively. Starting in 1990 the lake was allowed to recover naturally with the curtain still in place. Data were collected through 2000. The main objective was to understand the population, community, and ecosystem responses to whole-lake acidification. Funding for this project was provided by the USEPA and NSF. Parameters characterizing the nutrient chemistry of the treatment and reference basins of Little Rock Lake are measured at one station in the deepest part of each basin at the top and bottom of the epilimnion, mid-thermocline, and top, middle, and bottom of the hypolimnion. These parameters include total nitrogen, total dissolved nitrogen, nitrate, ammonia, total phosphorus, total dissolved phosphorus, dissolved reactive phosphorus, bicarbonite-reactive filtered and unfiltered silica, dissolved reactive silica, total inorganic carbon, dissolved inorganic carbon, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and total particulate matter. Sampling Frequency: varies - Number of sites: 2
Cascade project at North Temperate Lakes LTER - High-resolution spatial analysis of CASCADE lakes during experimental nutrient enrichment 2015 - 2016
This dataset contains high-resolution spatio-temporal water quality data from two experimental lakes during a whole-ecosystem experiment. Through gradual nutrient addition, we induced a cyanobacteria bloom in an experimental lake (Peter Lake) while leaving a nearby reference lake (Paul Lake) as a control. Peter and Paul Lakes (Gogebic county, MI USA), were sampled using the FLAMe platform (Crawford et al. 2015) multiple times during the summers of 2015 and 2016. In 2015 nutrient additions to Peter Lake began on 1 June, and ceased on 29 June, Paul Lake was left unmanipulated. In 2016 no nutrients were added to either lake. Measurements were taken using a YSI EXO2 probe and a Garmin echoMap 50s. Sensor- data were collected continuously at 1 Hz and linked via timestamp to create spatially explicit data for each lake.

Daily chlorophyll for surface water samples in Paul, Peter, and Tuesday lakes from mid-May to early September for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. Inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus were added to Peter and Tuesday lakes each year while Paul Lake was an unfertilized reference.
Lake Mendota Microbial Observatory Nutrient Data 2013-2018
Pelagic water samples were collected from Lake Mendota as part of routine microbial observatory sampling and analyzed for total and dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as inorganic nitrogen compounds. On a typical sampling trip, a 12m tube approximating the depth of the epilimnion layer was used to collected an integrated epilimnion water sample from the central, deepest location in the lake. Two separate water grabs, which we refer to here as biological replicates, were typically taken from different sides of the small motor boat and processed separately. Water samples were stored frozen at -20 C until nutrient analysis was performed using a segmented flow analyzer. These samples differ in several key ways from the other routine NTL-LTER nutrient measurements, namely in that they reflect a mixed water column sample rather than a discrete depth, that the dissolved fraction is collected using the microbial observatory's 0.22 um filter instead of 0.45 um, and that the nitrate/nitrite speciation is included by repeating the analysis with and without the standard reducing column. This nutrient data is collected from the same water samples used for microbial analysis, and the collection site is also co-located with the Lake Mendota weather buoy.
Cascade Project at North Temperate Lakes LTER: Nutrients 1991 - 2007
Physical and chemical variables are measured at one central station near the deepest point of each lake. In most cases these measurements are made in the morning (0800 to 0900). Vertical profiles are taken at varied depth intervals. Chemical measurements are sometimes made in a pooled mixed layer sample (PML); sometimes in the epilimnion, metalimnion, and hypolimnion; and sometimes in vertical profiles. In the latter case, depths for sampling usually correspond to the surface plus depths of 50percent, 25percent, 10percent, 5percent and 1percent of surface irradiance. The 1991-1999 chemistry data obtained from the Lachat auto-analyzer. Like the process data, there are up to seven samples per sampling date due to Van Dorn collections across a depth interval according to percent irradiance. Voichick and LeBouton (1994) describe the autoanalyzer procedures in detail. Nutrient samples were sent to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies for analysis beginning in 2000. The Kjeldahl method for measuring nitrogen is not used at IES, and so measurements reported from 2000 onwards are Total Nitrogen.
Dissolved inorganic nutrients including 5 macro nutrients: silicate, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium from water column bottle samples collected between October and April at Palmer Station, 1991 - 2025.
The inorganic plant macronutrients dissolved phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonium are the major sources of nutrition for phytoplankton growth in seawater (with sunlight and inorganic carbon). Macronutrient distributions reflect the large-scale circulation patterns in the oceans and are useful properties to delineate water masses. Dissolved inorganic nutrients samples are typically collected in every Niskin bottle sample collected at and near Palmer Station, Anvers Island, Antarctica on the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Water samples are collected throughout the water column at stations within the Palmer LTER region (primarily B and E, to 50m and 65m respectively). Beginning in the 2020-2021 season, Station B is no longer sampled. In Antarctic waters, dissolved inorganic macronutrients are seldom depleted to limiting concentrations except during heavy prolonged phytoplankton blooms. This is due to the fact that phytoplankton growth is more often limited by light or iron, and to the short growing season. Water samples are analyzed for dissolved nutrients with recognized standard oceanographic protocols for nutrient autoanalyzers (continuous flow analyzers).
Dissolved inorganic nutrients including 5 macro nutrients: silicate, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium from water column bottle samples collected during annual cruise along western Antarctic Peninsula, 1991 - 2024.
The inorganic plant macronutrients dissolved phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonium are the major sources of nutrition for phytoplankton growth in seawater (with sunlight and inorganic carbon). Macronutrient distributions reflect the large-scale circulation patterns in the oceans and are useful properties to delineate water masses. Dissolved inorganic nutrients samples are typically collected in every CTD/Rosette cast performed on the annual LTER cruises along the western Antarctic Peninsula. In Antarctic waters, dissolved inorganic macronutrients are seldom depleted to limiting concentrations except during heavy prolonged phytoplankton blooms. This is due to the fact that phytoplankton growth is more often limited by light or iron, and to the short growing season. Water samples pre-filtered through 47mm GF/F filters upon collection and samples frozen until analysis. Water samples are analyzed for dissolved nutrients with recognized standard oceanographic protocols for nutrient autoanalyzers (continuous flow analyzers).
PIE LTER water-column nutrient and particulate transects along the Parker River Estuary, Massachusetts, 1994 - 2019.
Water chemistry including nutrient concentrations for various forms of N, P, C, as well as suspended sediments and light extinction coefficients, was determined from bi-annual nutrient transects along the Plum Island Sound estuary from the Parker River Dam to the mouth of the sound. Grab samples were taken at 11 sites along a 24 km transect from the mouth of the estuary to as near the dam at the head of the estuary as poosible. These samples have generally been collected in Spring and Fall and are done in conjunction with metabolism transects measuring dissolved oxygen levels. The Spring and Fall transects correspond to the high-flow, pre-growth season and the low-flow, post-growth season, respectively.

Influence of soil amendment and crop species on nutrient cycling in a St. Paul urban garden, 2017-2023
An experiment was conducted from 2017-2023 at the University of St. Thomas research garden (Saint Paul, MN) to determine rates of nutrient recycling and loss from compost applied to urban gardens. Thirty-two 4 m2 study plots received one of six different soil amendment treatments, with four different crops growing on each plot. Meteorological data includes hourly measurements of rainfall, solar radiation, temperature and relative humidity, and wind speed and direction, from June 2017-October 2023. Hourly soil moisture measurements were recorded at depths of 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm, from June-December 2021, June-October 2022, and June-October 2023. Annual crop harvest totals from each subplot are reported for 2017-2023. Leachate was collected from lysimeters installed in each of the 132 subplots weekly from June-October of each year (2017-2023), recording total volume. Leachate subsamples were analyzed for NO3-N, NH4-N, and PO4-P. Soil samples were collected at the beginning and end of the growing season in 2017, and every two weeks during the growing season from 2018-2023, and analyzed for pH, organic matter, Bray-1 extractable P, available K, nitrate, and ammonium, at the University of Minnesota Analytical Research Laboratory.
Porewater nutrient concentrations in control and fertilized plots in a Spartina alterniflora-dominated salt marsh, North Inlet, Georgetown, SC : 1993-2025
Porewater nutrient concentrations were measured as a component of a long-term project seeking to understand how salt marsh primary production and sediment chemistry respond to anthropogenic (e.g. eutrophication) and natural (e.g. sea-level rise) environmental change. Feedbacks between plants, sediments, nutrients and flooding were investigated with particular attention to mechanisms that keep marshes in equilibrium with sea level. Other data collected as part of the project include aboveground macrophyte biomass, plant density, marsh surface elevation and annual above ground primary productivity. These data have been used to develop the Marsh Equilibrium Model, an important tool for coastal resource managers. Sampling occurred at Spartina alterniflora-dominated salt marsh sites in North Inlet, a relatively pristine estuary near Georgetown, SC on the SE coast of the United States. North Inlet is a tidally-dominated, bar-built estuary, with a semi-diurnal mixed tide and a tidal range of 1.4m. The 25-km2 estuary is comprised of about 20.5 km2 of intertidal salt marsh and mudflats, and 4.5 km2 of open water. Sampling began at two locations in December 1993, and at three additional locations in January 1994. Sampling occurred approximately monthly at these 5 locations through 2025. Sampling occurred at a sixth location from 2006 to 2010. The site was a dieback site that had recovered by 2010. At the other sites, the study is on-going. Porewater was collected at multiple depths from diffusion samplers and was analyzed for sulfide, salinity, ammonium, phosphate, and iron concentrations. There are five sampling locations at three sites. Two locations are in the low marsh; three locations are in the high marsh. One high marsh location had control sampling plots in addition to plots fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorus.
