  2. This dataset describes litterfall mass collected in the Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) study in New Hampshire from fall 2009 through summer 2022. Litter was collected three times per year: fall (late October or early November), spring (June), and summer (August). Fall litter was sorted by species in a subset of stands. This data package also includes the R code used to impute missing data for analysis, a manually edited data file used in the R code flow, and a file matching the labels for litterfall collectors from the original (pre Fall 2011) and current (Fall 2011 and onwards) labeling systems. All collectors have the most current label if known for all years of data. Additional detail on MELNHE, including a table of stand descriptions, project description, and a diagram of plot configuration can be found in this data package: Yanai, R.D., M. Fisk, and T.J. Fahey. 2024. Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE): Project description, plot characteristics and design ver 2. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/6cc8a39d052834c030650fb29937bf4f (Accessed 2024-10-17). Litterfall chemistry data for a subset of these samples can be found in the following data package: Fisk, M.C., R.D. Yanai, S.D. Hong, C.R. See, and S. Goswami. 2022.

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.

    This PDF-A version represents a report also mirrored in Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13344725) that was produced for the "EAGER: Secure Research Impact Metric Data Exchange: Data Supply Chain" project funded by The National Science Foundation. It documents key stakeholders, data intermediaries, standards and infrastructures related to journal article and dataset usage and impact analysis. Gaps and opportunities for distribution supply chains are identified alongside visualizations of the usage and impact data flows for open data and journals. This report is based on information collected through semi-structured interviews with 25 senior stakeholder leaders representative of the supply chain. Preliminary report findings were made available for comment from July - August 2024. Feedback is incorporated into this final version. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Numbers #233587. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

  4. Freshly senesced leaf litter was collected during autumn in New Hampshire at the Bartlett Experimental Forest, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, and Jeffers Brook as part of the Multiple Elementation Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) study. Leaf litter was collected in October 2021 and 2022 at peak litterfall (i.e., mid-October) during a rain-free period. These leaf-litter samples were analyzed for nutrient concentrations for use in resorption analyses. This dataset includes photos of all of the leaf-litter samples used for chemical analysis. For the corresponding chemistry data, please see the following data package: Zukswert, J., K. Gonzales, S. Hong, C. See, B. Quintero, and R.D. Yanai. 2025. Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE): Fresh Litter Chemistry ver 3.

These leaf litter samples correspond with green foliage samples collected in late July and early August of the same years: the green foliage data can be found in the following data package: Zukswert, J.M., S.D. Hong, K.E. Gonzales, C.R. See, and R.D. Yanai. 2025.

  5. Geochemical data from ancient marine sediments are crucial for studying palaeo-environments, palaeo-climates, and elemental cycles. With increased accessibility to geochemical data, many databases have emerged. However, there remains a need for a more comprehensive database that focuses on deep-time marine sediment records. Here, we introduce the Deep-Time Marine Sedimentary Element Database (DM-SED). The DM-SED has been built upon the Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments Project (SGP) database with a new compilation of 34 874 data entries from 433 studies, totalling 63 627 entries. The DM-SED contains 2 522 255 discrete marine sedimentary data points, including major and trace elements and some stable isotopes. It includes 9207 entries from the Precambrian and 54 420 entries from the Phanerozoic, thus providing significant references for reconstructing deep-time Earth system evolution. The data files described in this paper are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14771859 (Lai et al., 2025).
