Hubbard Brook site, station Vegetation zone 1 at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest's watershed 6, study of plant biomass of Acer rubrum in units of kilogramsPer625SquareMeters on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Hubbard Brook (HBR) contains plant biomass of Acer rubrum measurements in kilogramsPer625SquareMeters units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

Aboveground Biomass of Florida Scrub Plants
Biomass regressions are useful in non-destructively deriving biomass estimates for many applications. We present aboveground biomass regressions for 14 species of resprouting plants found in pyrogenic Florida scrub and related ecosystems. Aboveground biomass was collected from sites within five time-since-fire classes and predicted by plant height, canopy length, canopy width, species, and time-since-fire class. We were generally able to predict 72-95% of biomass variation from the three plant measurements. Regressions without plant width were almost as successful. For six of the species, time-since-fire affected the allometric equations, so we present regressions for specific time-since-fire classes for these species. Species differed markedly in their biomass equations. Within species groups, individual species usually differed but were similar for Lyonias. These equations will be useful in summarizing species responses to fire frequency and fire intensity in Florida scrub and related ecosystems.
Plant biomass in moist acidic tussock tundra experimental small mammal exclosures, 1999 Arctic LTER Toolik, Alaska.
Above ground plant and below ground stem biomass was measured in Arctic LTER tussock tundra experimental small mammal exclosures. Treatments included Control, Nitrogen plus Phosphorus with both fenced and unfenced plots. In addition a moist non-acidic tussock tundra site was harvested. Leaf areas were also measured for each quadrat but are in a separate file.
Plant aboveground biomass data: The Seasonal Effects of Nitrogen Addition in the Spring on Vegetation at Differing Times of the Growing Season
The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effect of addition of NH4NO3 in the spring on vegetation at different times during the growing season. This experiment is located within the fenced area of field C. See E001 about the construction of the fence. There are three NH4NO3 levels labeled E, G, and I as defined in fertilization details in the "microplot" category. There are 4 replicates and the treatments were randomly assigned to the 12 plots. The plots are laid out in a 3 by 4 grid and are 1.5 by 3.9 meters in area. To measure effect at different times during the growing season each plot will be sampled by clipping 0.2 m by 0.5 m quadrats every two weeks during the 1985 growing season.
Plant aboveground biomass data: The Effect of Nitrogen Addition and Different pH Levels on Microorganism Populations
The purpose of this experiment was to measure the effect of NH4NO3 addition and different levels of pH on microorganism populations. The experiment was located in field B. This experiment was laid out as a full factorial design with 3 nitrogen levels and 4 pH levels. The pH levels strived for are 4.0, 5.5, 6.5, and controls. The nitrogen levels are E, G, and I are defined in fertilization details. The experiment had 4 replicates. The treatments were randomly assigned to the 48 plots. The plots were 4 by 4 meters and were laid out in a 6 by 8 grid. On May 5, 1995, a wildfire burned all of the plots in experiment 24 in field B.
Plant aboveground biomass data: The Effects of Adding Different Levels of Nitrogen at Different Times During the Growing Season
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects of adding different levels of NH4NO3 at different times during the growing season. This experiment is being conducted inside the fenced areas of fields A and B. See E001 for description of fence construction. There are seven treatments, six combinations of three fertilization dates and two nitrogen levels and one control. There are 5 replicates of each treatment for 35 plots in each field. The nitrogen levels are E, G, and I and are defined in fertilization details in the "microplot" strategy. The times of fertilization are roughly May, June, or July. See CALENDAR.DOC for exact times of fertilization. The plots are laid out in a 5 by 7 grid and are 1.5 by 3.5 meters in area. Aisles are one meter wide in field A and 0.75 meters wide in field B.
Plant aboveground biomass data: Traits: Competition and Resource Reduction for Five Grass Species Grown in Monoculture and Competition in Soils with Different Nitrogen Availabilities
This experiment was designed to determine the relationships between plant traits, successional status, and resource reduction for five grass species that were grown for three years in monoculture in replicated field plots on soils prepared to have different availabilities of nitrogen. It also determines the results of competition experiments among various combinations of these species as well as the differing feedback effects of each species on soil nitrogen mineralization rates. All of this work has motivated the desire to more fully understand the mechanisms of interactions among plants and their resources, in the belief that this might eventually allow predictions of the dynamics, diversity, and composition of plant communities.
Plant aboveground biomass data: Schizachyrium scoparium Nutrient Uptake Profiles
The objective of this experiment is to determine the distances over which Schizachyrium scoparium can reduce available soil N. This experiment is being conducted in field B, outside the fenced area of the microplots. Each experimental unit consists of a circular plot of 3 meters diameter, at the center of which there is a Schizachyrium scoparium plant. Two treatments are being tested: 1 (=A). All the vegetation around the central S. scoparium was killed with roundup at a rate of 2.04 g/m2 (1g of Isopropylamine salt of N (phosphonomethyl ) Glycine ). Spraying was repeated at the same rate as needed (Yearly folder). A plastic barrier, 80 cm high, was placed around each Schizachyrium scoparium plant to protect it from any drift that might occur. The area sprayed is the circle with 2 m radius around the central plant. 2 (=B). The vegetation around S. scoparium is left intact. Each treatment is replicated 5 times. The two treatments were randomly assigned to the 10 plots of the experiment. The plot layout is: Plot # Treatment 1 2 2 1 3 2 4 2 5 1 6 1 7 1 8 2 9 2 10 1 Soil samples were taken several times and the amount of ammonium and nitrate were determined at the lab. Soil samples were also taken once for mineralization rate, microbial biomass and total carbon determination. When plants reached maturity, they were harvested and dried for dry matter determination, then ground for tissue nitrogen determination. For an additional list of treatments see the treatment layouts in file trmte38.
Plant tissue nitrogen: Traits: Biomass Allocation Trends in Old Field in Relation to Gradients of Succesional Age and Soil Nitrogen
The objective of this experiment is to assess biomass allocation trends in the field in relation to gradients of successional age and soil nitrogen. This objective was approached in three ways: A) 37 old fields of various ages were surveyed for above and below ground biomass, soil N, and light penetration. Five strips (1m x 10cm) were clipped in each field for above ground biomass (sorted to grasses and forbs; then sorted to leaf and stem), and 3 root cores (down to 30cm) taken per strip (rinsed, dried and weighed). Two light measurements and one pooled (3 cores) soil N sample (for available and total N) were taken per strip. B) 35 abundant species of known successional status were harvested from the field (usually 15 individuals per species), including roots contained in a core 20x30cm, dried, sorted to stem, leaf, and root, and weighed. These data can be combined with the old field survey results (E014) to estimate successional trends in allocation. C) Root cores will be taken from microplots in fields A, B, C, and D, all treatments. This will be an estimate of root biomass to be combined with the above ground samples (E001) to assess root-shoot trends in response to manipulation of soil N in fields of different age.

Schizachyrium scoparium seedling root and shoot biomass: Interactive Effects of Fertility and Distribution on Plant Community Diversity and Structure
There are four levels of nitrogen, corresponding to treatments A, C, F and G in E001, applied at the same time as in that experiment. For a description of fertilizer added to E052, see file fertilization details. There are four levels of soil disturbance designated 1, 2, 3 and 4. Level 1: undisturbed Level 2: 1 pass with a 7 HP Honda rear-tined rototiller with the elevator set to till to a depth of 9 inches Level 3: 2 passes or however many required to produce about 50% bare ground Level 4: 3 passes or however many required to produce 100% bare ground. This requires 3 passes in some plots but 5 or 6 in others. In addition, all woody vegetation not destroyed by tilling is cut at the base. Rototilling is applied in late April. Each fertilization treatment receives each disturbance treatment, for a total of sixteen treatments. There are four replicates of each of the sixteen treatments. In addition, the four extreme ends (lowest N, lowest disturbance; highest N, lowest disturbance, etc. ) are replicated an additional ten times. Treatments are applied in a completely randomized design. Each of the 104 plots is 5m x 5m. Measurements taken at E052 will include: 1) species abundances, 2) community biomass allocation to leaves/roots/stems/flowers, 3) above and below ground net primary production and 4) rates of nitrogen mineralization. For a list of treatments, see the treatment layouts in file trmte52. The plots in E052 are enclosed by a fence to exclude mammalian herbivores. Galvanized welded-wire hardware cloth with 6mm x 6mm openings was buried to a depth of 50cm. Additional hardware cloth extends 60cm above the ground and poultry netting extends to 2m above the ground. In 1990, ten plots of each of four treatments (N1D1, N1D4, N4D1, N4D4, where N is the level of nitrogen added and D is the disturbance treatment) were randomly selected for the competition experiment. The above and belowground effects of neighbors on transplanted grass seedlings were measured using three

Plant aboveground biomass data: Plant Competition Under Different Nitrogen Levels:A Garden Experiment
This garden plot experiment is located next to the E026 gardens in Field E (Old Field 44). This garden contained monocultures of major grass species from across the grassland biome of North America, and also 3 legume species (E070). The design and purpose were similar to E026, except the plots were larger. The basic experimental design consisted of growing plants in monoculture and in various competitive combinations on each of 14 different soil mixtures. In 1988 a bulldozer was used to remove 30 inches of top soil at the site. To each plot a certain amount of black dirt, ranging from 0.3 inches to 10 inches, was added. Total carbon ranged from 0.1928% to 5.63134% and total nitrogen ranged from 0.0158% to 0.4591%. The exact amounts of black soil added to each plot are described in the field operations. Equal amounts of MgSO4, CaCO3, P2O5 \
