Desert Fertilization Experiment: investigation of Sonoran desert ecosystem response to atmospheric deposition and experimental nutrient addition, ongoing since 2006
Launched in 2006 with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and leveraged by the CAP LTER, the Carbon and Nitrogen deposition (CNdep) project sought to answer the fundamental question of whether elemental cycles in urban ecosystems are qualitatively different from those in non-urban ecosystems. Ecosystem scientists, atmospheric chemists, and biogeochemists tested the hypothesis that distinct biogeochemical pathways result from elevated inorganic nitrogen and organic carbon deposition from the atmosphere to the land. To test the hypothesis, scientists examined the responsiveness of Sonoran desert ecosystems to nutrient enrichment by capitalizing on a gradient of atmospheric deposition in and around the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Fifteen desert study sites were established, with five locations each west and east of the urban core, and in the urban core in desert preserves. In addition to the gradient of atmospheric deposition in and around the urban core, select study plots at each of the fifteen desert locations receive amendments of nitrogen, phosphorus, or nitrogen + phosphorus fertilizer. Measured variables include soil properties, perennial and annual plant growth, and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen. At the close of the initial grant period, the CAP LTER assumed responsibility for the project, renamed the Desert Fertilization Experiment, which provides a remarkable platform to study the long-term effects of nutrient enrichment on desert ecosystem properties.
Harmonized National Atmospheric Deposition Products for HydroBASINS basins
Water quality is largely reflective of processes occurring on the surrounding landscape. While terrestrial inputs often strongly influence water quality, atmospheric deposition can be a significant source of allochthonous constituents to aquatic ecosystems. In the Contiguous United States, the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) has been collecting in situ atmospheric deposition of several key ions for decades. However, merging these data with co-located aquatic data is challenging. To facilitate national-scale analyses of basin-level atmospheric deposition of sulfate, ammonium, nitrate, and hydrogen with co-located water quality data, we present aggregated atmospheric deposition data for the Contiguous United States. Data are aggregated using the HydroBASINS basin shapefiles. HYBAS_ID is retained to enable merging with HydroBASINS parent datasets.

Long term response of arctic tussock tundra to thermal erosion features: A modeling analysis. Tussock tundra regrowth after a thermal erosion event: Simulation F - increased N deposition
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 with increased N deposition compared to the base simulation. Data is presented for day 250 of each year.

Umbilicaria Mammulata and Nitrogen Deposition at Harvard Forest 2006
Atmospheric N has quadrupled due to anthropogenic inputs and is projected to double again by 2050. The lichen Umbilicaria mammulata relies primarily on atmospheric deposition for nutrients, including N. Much of this species’ geographic distribution coincides with the N deposition gradient in the eastern US. We were interested in the potential impacts of N deposition on this species under realistic field conditions. Lichens were collected at six sites, ranging from Maine (low deposition) to West Virginia (high deposition). Thalli were analyzed for %C, %N, C:N, specific thallus weight (a measure of thickness), chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll fluorescence. Using stepwise regression we identified the most predictive model(s) using N deposition, environmental variables, and climate to predict differences in lichen ecophysiology and biochemistry across the gradient. While N deposition was important in predicting some responses, the model that best predicted %N in lichen only included mean minimum temperature, mean annual precipitation, and substrate slope. In controlled experiments at Grandfather Mountain (Linville NC) lichens were fertilized in situ with N to mimic deposition projected for 2050. There were no significant differences between control and fertilized thalli for any response variables, but differences did exist among sites. The results of this study highlight the complexities associated with sampling along a gradient of one factor in a multivariate environment.
Nitrogen Deposition and Pitcher Plant Morphology in Massachusetts and Vermont 1998-1999
Atmospheric transport and deposition of nutrients, especially nitrogen, is a global environmental problem with well-documented consequences for ecosystem dynamics. However, monitoring nitrogen deposition is relatively expensive, monitoring stations are widely spaced, and estimates and predicted impacts of nitrogen deposition are currently derived from spatial modeling and interpolation of limited data. Bogs are nutrient-poor ecosystems that are especially sensitive to increasing nutrient input, and carnivorous plants, which are characteristic of these widespread ecosystem types, may be especially sensitive indicators of N deposition. Botanical carnivory is thought to have evolved in nutrient-poor and well-lit habitats such as bogs because the marginal benefits accruing from carnivory exceed the marginal photosynthetic costs associated with the maintenance of carnivorous organs. However, the production of carnivorous organs can be a phenotypically plastic trait. The northern pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, produces leaves specialized for prey capture and nutrient uptake (pitchers) and leaves that are more efficient at photosynthesis (phyllodia). We hypothesized that relative allocation to these two types of leaves reflects ambient nitrogen availability. We manipulated nutrient availability to plants with leaf enrichment and whole-plot fertilization experiments. Increased nitrogen, but not phosphorus, reduced production of pitchers relative to phyllodia; this result provided empirical support for the cost–benefit model of the evolution of botanical carnivory. Because this phenotypic shift in leaf production occurs in ecological time, our results suggest that S. purpurea could be a reliable and inexpensive biological indicator of nitrogen deposition rates. This suggestion is supported by field observations across a geographic gradient of nitrogen deposition.
Dataset: Electrolyte-dependent deposition morphology on magnesium metal utilizing MeMgCl, Mg[B(hfip)4]2 and Mg(HMDS)2–2AlCl3 electrolytes
<p>This is a collection featuring the data generated and used within the paper: 'Electrolyte-dependent deposition morphology on magnesium metal utilizing MeMgCl, Mg[B(hfip)4]2 and Mg(HMDS)2–2AlCl3 electrolytes'. The deposition behavior of two state-of-the-art electrolytes, magnesium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy)borate (Mg[B(hfip)~4~]~2~) in dimethoxyethane (DME) and magnesium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) with two equivalents of aluminum chloride (Mg(HMDS)~2~-2AlCl~3~) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was investigated. Using symmetric flooded magnesium-magnesium cells with different electrolyte concentrations and current densities the deposition process was monitored optically in-situ by a video microscope. The depositions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and compared to depositions from methylmagnesium chloride (MeMgCl) in THF, known for its dendritic growth. In this work, MeMgCl showed unidirectional growth and for the harshest applied conditions, mossy depositions, but no branching dendrites as reported in previous literature. Mg[B(hfip)~4~]~2~ and Mg(HMDS)~2~-2AlCl~3~ did not show the formation of dendrites or a dendrite preform but also did not result in a desired smooth layer but in spherical depositions. For the Mg[B(hfip)~4~]~2~ electrolyte, the influence of magnesium borohydride (Mg(BH~4~)~2~) as an additive was additionally tested resulting in a more planar growth.</p>

Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Atmospheric Deposition of Dissolved Organic Carbon
Atmospheric deposition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to terrestrial ecosystems is a small, but rarely studied component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and organic particulates are the sources of atmospheric C and deposition represents a major pathway for the removal of organic C from the atmosphere. Here, we evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns of DOC deposition using 70 datasets at least one year in length ranging from 40° south to 66° north latitude. Globally, the median DOC concentration in bulk deposition was 1.7 mg L-1. The DOC concentrations were significantly higher in tropical (< 25°) latitudes compared to temperate (> 25°) latitudes. DOC deposition was significantly higher in the tropics because of both higher DOC concentrations and precipitation. Using the global median or latitudinal specific DOC concentrations leads to a calculated global deposition of 202 or 295 Tg C yr-1 respectively. Many sites exhibited seasonal variability in DOC concentration. At temperate sites, DOC concentrations were higher during the growing season; at tropical sites, DOC concentrations were higher during the dry season. Thirteen of the thirty-four long-term (> 10 years) datasets showed significant declines in DOC concentration over time with the others showing no significant change. Based on the magnitude and timing of the various sources of organic C to the atmosphere, biogenic VOCs likely explain the latitudinal pattern and the seasonal pattern at temperate latitudes while decreases in anthropogenic emissions are the most likely explanation for the declines in DOC concentration.
Geochemical Characterizations for Identifying Fugitive Dust Deposition and Enrichment of Surface and Subsurface Subalpine Soils from Phosphorus Mining, Eastern Ashley National Forest, Utah, 2022-2023.
Phosphorus is a non-renewable resource essential for all life. Anthropogenic alterations to the phosphorus cycle have led to widespread phosphorus pollution, and the unsustainable management of P has led to the threat of global depletion of phosphorus resources. Thus, accounting for the natural and anthropogenic flow paths of phosphorus is essential for its conservation and pollution reduction. One such source of human alteration to the phosphorus-cycle is phosphate rock mining. Mining, however, has many adverse environmental effects, including widespread fugitive dust emissions. Dust collection in the Ashley National Forest of northeastern Utah, proximate to a surface phosphorus mine, has shown phosphorus concentrations in dust more than four times that of other regional samples. Elevated phosphorus in dust near active surface mining suggests that mining emissions may alter the natural phosphorus loading of the soils in the National Forest through dust deposition; however, no research has been done to identify the abundance and range of mine-attributable phosphorus enrichment in the soils surrounding phosphate mining activities. The combined geospatial and geochemical approach of this study shows that surface soil phosphorus concentrations were found to be enriched above naturally occurring levels up to 6.5 km from mining activity (enrichment factor > 1.5), with the most significant enrichment occurring within the first 3 km (enrichment factor > 2). On average, surface phosphorus concentrations were significantly enriched by 25% within 6.5 km of phosphorus mining activity. Observed phosphorus enrichment was positively correlated with the presence of fluorapatite in the soil, which is the primary phosphorus-mineral extracted from the nearby mine. Further, bioavailable phosphorus concentrations were also higher for the soils that were enriched in phosphorus. This study shows that fugitive emissions associated with the surface mining of phosphate rock are a significan
Warming-El Nino-Nitrogen Deposition Experiment (WENNDEx): Net Primary Production Quadrat Data at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
Humans are creating significant global environmental change, including shifts in climate, increased nitrogen (N) deposition, and the facilitation of species invasions. A multi-factorial field experiment is being performed in an arid grassland within the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) to simulate increased nighttime temperature, higher N deposition, and heightened El Niño frequency (which increases winter precipitation by an average of 50%). The purpose of the experiment is to better understand the potential effects of environmental change on grassland community composition and the growth of introduced creosote seeds and seedlings. The focus is on the response of three dominant species, all of which are near their range margins and thus may be particularly susceptible to environmental change. It is hypothesized that warmer summer temperatures and increased evaporation will favor growth of black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda), a desert grass, but that increased winter precipitation and/or available nitrogen will favor the growth of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), a shortgrass prairie species. Furthermore, it is thought that the growth and survival of introduced creosote (Larrea tridentata) seeds and seedlings will be promoted by heightened winter precipitation, N addition, and warmer nighttime temperatures. Treatment effects on limiting resources (soil moisture, nitrogen mineralization), species growth (photosynthetic rates, creosote shoot elongation), species abundance, and net primary production (NPP) are all being measured to determine the interactive effects of key global change drivers on arid grassland plant community dynamics. To measure above-ground NPP (i.e., the change in plant biomass, represented by stems, flowers, fruit and foliage, over time), the vegetation variables in this dataset, including species composition and the cover and height of individuals, are sampled twice yearly (spring and fall) at permanent 1m x 1m plots. The data from these pl
Warming-El Nino-Nitrogen Deposition Experiment (WENNDEx): Seasonal Biomass and Seasonal and Annual NPP at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
Begun in winter 2006, this long-term study at the Sevilleta LTER examines how heightened winter precipitation, N addition, and warmer nighttime temperatures affect above-ground biomass production (ANPP) in a mixed desert-grassland. Net primary production is a fundamental ecological variable that quantifies rates of carbon consumption and fixation. Estimates of NPP are important in understanding energy flow at a community level as well as spatial and temporal responses to a range of ecological processes. While measures of both below- and above-ground biomass are important in estimating total NPP, this study focuses on above-ground net primary production (ANPP). Above-ground net primary production is the change in plant biomass, including loss to death and decomposition, over a given period of time. Volumetric measurements are made using vegetation data from permanent plots (SEV176, "Warming-El Nino-Nitrogen Deposition Experiment (WENNDEx): Net Primary Production Quadrat Data") and regressions correlating species biomass and volume constructed using seasonal harvest weights from SEV157, "Net Primary Productivity (NPP) Weight Data."
