Biomass %N, %C, natural abundance 15N and 13C isotopic signatures for common and rare under- and overstory plants in long unburned and burned (1999) boreal forest stands, Caribou-Poker Creek and Delta Junction
This dataset contains leaf, aboveground stem, and fruit carbon and N concentration and natural abundance isotope data for new and old tissue fractions of common and rare plant species in burned and unburned black spruce forest stands. Stands were located in either Caribou-Poker Creek or Delta Junction, in either unburned areas, or in areas burned in 1999 fires. Biomass was collected between 2000 and 2001 in mid-July at peak biomass.
Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): leaf C, N, delta-13C, delta-15N at peak biomass; 2009-2019
The Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR) project addresses the following questions: 1) Does ecosystem warming cause a net release of C from the ecosystem to the atmosphere?, 2) Does the decomposition of old C, that comprises the bulk of the soil C pool, influence ecosystem C loss?, and 3) How do winter and summer warming alone, and in combination, affect ecosystem C exchange? We are answering these questions using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure ecosystem carbon balance and radiocarbon isotope ratios at a warming experiment located in an upland tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. This data set includes carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) elemental and isotope content in leaves collected from winter warming, summer warming, and control treatment plots at CiPEHR.

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient: leaf SLA, C, N, P, Ca, Mg, delta-13C, delta-15N at peak biomass, 2017
In this larger study, we are asking the question: Is old carbon that comprises the bulk of the soil organic matter pool released in response to thawing of permafrost? We are answering this question by using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure radiocarbon isotope ratios in soil organic matter, soil respiration, and dissolved organic carbon, in tundra ecosystems. The objective of these proposed measurements is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the SOM sources contributing to C losses following permafrost thawing. We are making these measurements at an established tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Field measurements center on a natural experiment where permafrost has been observed to warm and thaw over the past several decades. This area represents a gradient of sites each with a different degree of change due to permafrost thawing. As such, this area is unique for addressing questions at the time and spatial scales relevant for change in arctic ecosystems.
Leaf delta 13C and total C from 9 species water treatment plots:e141: BioCON : Biodiversity, Elevated CO2, and N Enrichment
BioCON (Biodiversity, CO2, and Nitrogen) is an ecological experiment started in 1997 at the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. BioCON's goal is to explore the ways in which plant communities will respond to three environmental changes that are known to be occurring on a global scale: increasing nitrogen deposition, increasing atmospheric CO2, and decreasing biodiversity. Why Biodiversity, CO2, and Nitrogen? While there are many uncertainties in global change biology, there are also some well documented facts. Some of these are: 1. The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is rising. Since the industrial revolution, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased from approximately 275 parts per million (ppm) to about 378 ppm today. This has been largely the result of fossil fuel burning. It is expected that CO2 levels will continue to rise, and that by the year 2050 these levels will be approximately 550 ppm. CO2 is the raw material for photosynthesis and is known to affect plant growth and development. 2. The amount of nitrogen moving through terrestrial ecosystems has increased in the recent past. While natural "background" levels of nitrogen fixation have remained constant, human additions to the system through fertilizer production and fossil fuel use have increased dramatically. Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and plays a critical role in plant community structure and composition in many environments. 3. Biodiversity levels are falling. While the research and data are not as complete as they are for CO2 and nitrogen, data indicate that the number of species globally, is being reduced. Perhaps more important for ecosystem function, diversity levels on local to regional scales have fallen due to land use change, biotic invasion and many other drivers. While much is known about how each of these factors affects ecosystem functioning, many questions remain. There is also little data on how these issues affe
Post-fire SOC and delta-13C at different types of microsite at a grassland-shrubland ecotone
Woody plant encroachment of grassland ecosystems is a geographically extensive phenomenon that can lead to rapid land degradation and significantly alter global biogeochemical cycles, and this ecosystem change has been particularly well documented in the desert grassland of the southwestern United States. Fires are known to decrease vegetation cover and increase soil erodibility, and the shifts in wildfire regimes are currently occurring in Chihuahuan Desert. It is generally recognized that the invasion of woody vegetation into grasslands and savannas will increase the carbon stored in arid ecosystems. However, carbon storage may be complicated by disturbance such as wildfire, which alters the distribution and amount of C pools in the drylands. The relative distribution of each vegetation type to the soil C pool and its variability after fires are not well-understood in this ecosystem. This research will investigate the variations of SOC and its vegetation source partition at microsite scale in the woody shrub encroached grassland after the occurrence of fire, which will provide further information on wildfire’s influence on soil C pool dynamics in arid and semiarid lands. The post-fire changes of the spatial pattern of SOC and vegetation contributions in the shrub encroached grassland will be analyzed using a geostatistical method outlined in Guan et al. (2018). Overall, understanding the post-fire redistribution and sources of SOC may provide insights on the important role played by fire, aeolian processes and vegetation in the dynamics of desert grassland ecosystems.
