Nitrogen and carbon content, leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf water content (LWC) of leaves sampled from locations on the Kougarok mile marker 64 NGEE Arctic site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Samples were collected in July 2018 from Alnus viridis, Betula nana, Betula glandulosa, Arctostaphylos alpina and Salix pulchra. This data package includes leaf sample information and trait data (*.csv). Metadata files include data descriptions (_dd.csv) for tabular data and a key to species symbols used in data files. All included files are listed and described in NGA207_flmd.csv. See data package NGA208 "Full spectrum 350-2500 nm canopy spectral reflectance, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2018" for linked canopy spectral reflectance data, dGPS locations and sample photographs. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was ...
