  • Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) - Raw images for the analysis of stomatal density and length 2021-2022
Title: Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) - Raw images for the analysis of stomatal density and length 2021-2022
Stomatal density and length were measured on leaves of sugar maple (Acer sacharrum Marsh.) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britton.) trees 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. Leaves were collected in late July and early August in 2021 and 2022 from the tops of dominant and codominant trees using a shotgun. These measurements were made on 3 leaves from each tree. These data correspond with other foliar trait data collected from the same trees in 2021 and 2022. That EDI package is as follows: Hong, S.D., K.E. Gonzales, C.R. See, and R.D. Yanai. 2021.

Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/b23deb8e1ccf1c1413382bf911c6be19 This data package contains the raw images underlying the data reported in a separate data package on stomatal density and length: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=372 These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES).

    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 of 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 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. Besides adding 2021 and 2022 to the previous version of this data package, this version includes updated values for some samples from 2009 and 2010. Some were re-run to check unusual values, and 8 samples from 2010 for which fresh litter was not collected were estimated by analyzing litter samples collected in litter traps in the same plots in that year. These additions and corrections are indicated in the comments section of the data. These leaf litter samples correspond with green foliage samples collected in late July and early August of the same years: the green foliage EDI package can be found at the following citation: Zukswert, J.M., S.D. Hong, K.E. Gonzales, C.R. See, and R.D. Yanai. 2025.
