Title: Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE): Foliage Scans and Photographs
In the MELNHE project, we are conducting nutrient manipulations in three study sites in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire: Bartlett Experimental Forest, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, and Jeffers Brook. We monitored foliar chemistry in 11 of our stands pre-treatment (2008-2010) and post-treatment (2014-2016 and 2021-22). In 2021-22 , we also measured specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content, carbon isotope composition, and stomatal density. This dataset includes scans of the foliage sampled in 2021-22, used to measure leaf area, and photos of all foliage samples used for trait measurements and chemical analysis. For the corresponding trait and chemistry data, please see the following dataset: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=knb-lter-hbr.313.1 Additional detail on the MELNHE project, including a datatable of site descriptions and a pdf file with the project description and diagram of plot configuration can be found in this data package: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=344 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. Some of these data have been published in: Jenna M Zukswert, Matthew A Vadeboncoeur, Ruth D Yanai, Responses of stomatal density and carbon isotope composition of sugar maple and yellow birch foliage to N, P and CaSiO3 fertilization, Tree Physiology, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2024, tpad142, https://doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpad142  more » « less

    Soil element concentrations (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Al, Mn, Fe, Si, Sr, and Ba) were measured in salt exchangeable extracts of soil samples taken in July 2017 in the MELNHE study, specifically in Bartlett stands C1-C9 and Hubbard Brook stands HBM and HBO. Additional detail on the MELNHE project, including a datatable of site descriptions and a pdf file with the project description and diagram of plot configuration can be found in this data package: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=344. Additional analysis data on these samples can be found in the dataset "Soil properties in the MELNHE study at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, Bartlett Experimental Forest and Jeffers Brook, central NH USA, 2009 - present" (https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=165). This work is a contribution of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study. Hubbard Brook is part of the LTER network, which is supported by the US National Science Foundation. The Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest is operated and maintained by the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

    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.
