Relative percent cover was measured for plant species on Arctic LTER experimental plots at Toolik field station in moist acidic and non-acidic tundra.
Data Set Results
Measures of soil nutrient content (available N and P, Extractable N and P, Total C, N and P), and microbial biomass and activity (exoenzyme activity) were measured for organic and mineral soils on Arctic LTER experimental plots at Toolik field station in moist acidic and non-acidic tundra (organic soils only).
We use a simple model of coupled carbon and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems to examine how explicitly representing grazers versus having grazer effects implicitly aggregated in with other biogeochemical processes in the model alters predicted responses to elevated carbon dioxide and warming. The aggregated approach can affect model predictions because grazer-mediated processes can respond differently to changes in climate from the processes with which they are typically aggregated.
We investigated the effect of long-term warming on multiple soil and microbial carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus pools, and microbial extracellular enzyme activities, with a particular focus on phosphorus, in Alaskan tundra plots underlain by permafrost
Relative percent cover was measured for plant species on Arctic LTER experimental plots at Toolik field station in moist acidic and non-acidic tundra
in greenhouse and control plots. Leaf percent carbon, percent nitrogen and percent phosphorus were collected from dominant species in greenhouse and control plots
on Arctic LTER experimental plots at Toolik field station in moist acidic, non-acidic tundra, wet sedge and shrub
