  1. Stordalen Mire microbial ASV table (mire-wide_ASV_table.tsv) and taxonomy (mire-wide_taxonomy.tsv), based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from a mire-wide survey (2015) and co-analyzed autochamber site samples (2014-2015). The 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data is available under NCBI BioProject PRJNA1236848. The sample metadata and SRA accessions are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15047156. FUNDING: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Interdisciplinary Science program: From Archaea to the Atmosphere (award # NNX17AK10G). National Science Foundation, Biology Integration Institutes Program: EMERGE Biology Integration Institute (award # 2022070). United States Department of Energy Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Genomic Science Program: The IsoGenie Project (grant #s DE-SC0004632, DE-SC0010580, and DE-SC0016440). Sequencing was performed using startup funding from the University of Arizona to Virginia Rich. We thank the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat and SITES for the support of the work done at the Abisko Scientific Research Station. SITES is supported by the Swedish Research Council's grant 4.3-2021-00164.

  3. Stordalen Mire sample metadata from a mire-wide survey (2015) and co-analyzed autochamber site samples (2014-2015). These samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, and the 16S data is available under NCBI BioProject PRJNA1236848. Column descriptions for this metadata file: The first 4 columns (sample_name, SRA library_ID, SRA accession, BioSample) include sample & library names and accessions in NCBI. The sample_name column also matches the SampleID__ attribute in the EMERGE Database (EMERGE-DB; https://emerge-db.asc.ohio-state.edu/). The next 7 columns (SampleID, Habitat, Depth, Description, Source, Site, Origin) are the metadata used for the 16S data analysis (results available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15047596 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15047715). The final 9 columns (Latitude, Longitude, Date, Full Site Name, Core #, DepthMin (cm), DepthMax (cm), DepthAvg (cm), pH_porewater) provide other metadata, including latitude/longitude, sampling dates, full site and core names, depths, and porewater pH, standardized to match the nomenclature in the EMERGE-DB.

  4. Vegetation % cover, cover classes, and locations for all mire-wide plots in Stordalen Mire, northern Sweden, sampled in July 2015.  Class = the 5-category classification of Malmer et al., 2005.  Cover type = the 3-category classification of Bäckstrand et al., 2008. Each of the 75 plots had 64 subplots that were each quantified for % cover, such that the total plot-level %cover=Sum(species)/64.  Sum(SUM) is total of all other Sum() columns. Sum(0) and Sum(0 2) are data compilation checks.  FUNDING: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Interdisciplinary Science program: From Archaea to the Atmosphere (award # NNX17AK10G).

  5. This data package contains 5 m LiDAR-derived topographic metrics across Hubbard Brook EF following the approach reported by (Gillin et al., 2015). The LiDAR was collected during leaf-off and snow-free conditions by Photo Science, Inc. in April 2012 for the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. Gillin, C.P., S.W. Bailey, K.J. McGuire, and J.P. Gannon. 2015. Mapping of Hydropedologic Spatial Patterns in a Steep Headwater Catchment. Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J. 79(2): 440–453. doi: 10.2136/sssaj2014.05.0189.
