| Summary: | Soil cores were collected from twelve vegetation biomass plots at the Kougarok hillslope in late July of 2016. The sampled plots were located across six ecotypes present at this site (n=2 replicates per ecotype). Soil cores were separated into depth intervals in the field and frozen for transport to Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Data package contains one *.csv and one *.pdf.Laboratory sample processing of these soils generated depth-specific data on soil properties as well as fine root biomass, length, %C, %N, delta13C, and delta15N. Only live fine roots were analyzed. Fine roots were not separated by species or plant functional type.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), 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 supported by the Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research ... |
