Abstract:

Monthly time series of d13C and d15N isotope measurements in litterfall at NUMEX San Francisco between 2007 and 2009. Litterfall was collected on all 20 plots at NUMEX on 6 subplots per plot (A-F) with polyethylene mesh traps (0.6 x 0.6 m). On each plot, two of the six litterfall traps were randomly sampled monthly. The samples were dried at 40 °C for one week and stored at the ECSF until transport to Germany or Switzerland for chemical analyses. The two collected replicates were bulked per plot and collecting interval resulting in one litterfall sample per plot and month. Samples were ground to <50 µm with a planetary ball mill (Retsch PM200, Haan, Germany) prior to isotope measurements of d13C and d15N by EA/IRMS (ThermoFisher, Bremen, Germany)

Abstract:

Fortnightly time series of measured concentrations of Cl, PO4-P, Total P, NH4-N, NO3-N, Total N, K, Na, Mg, Ca and Total organic C in litter leachate at NUMEX San Francisco. The fortnightly time series extends between August 2007 and March 2013. Litter leachate was sampled on the 20 NUMEX plots with tero-tension lysimeters below the organic layer. On each plot 3 replicates were collected, volume-weighted and bulked to one sample per plot. Samples were immediately filtered (4-7 µm) in the laboratory of the ECSF and stored at -20 °C until transport in frozen state to Germany or to Switzerland for concentration measurements.

Abstract:

Fortnightly time series of measured concentrations of Cl, PO4-P, Total P, NH4-N, NO3-N, Total N, K, Na, Mg, Ca and Total organic C in soil solution (15 cm mineral soil depth) at NUMEX San Francisco. The fortnightly time series extends between August 2007 and March 2013. Soil solution was sampled on the 20 NUMEX plots with ceramic suction cups having a pore size of 1 µm installed at 15 cm depth in the mineral soil. On each plot 3 replicates were collected and bulked to one sample per plot. The samples were stored at -20 °C until transport in frozen state to Germany or to Switzerland for concentration measurements.

Abstract:

Fortnightly time series of measured electrical conductivity and pH values in soil solution (30 cm mineral soil depth) at NUMEX San Francisco. The fortnightly time series extends between August 2007 and December 2016. Soil solution was sampled on the 20 NUMEX plots with ceramic suction cups having a pore size of 1 µm installed at 30 cm depth in the mineral soil. On each plot 3 replicates were collected and bulked to one sample per plot. Electrical conductivity and pH values were measured immediately in unfiltered aliquots in the laboratory of the ECSF.

Abstract:

AMF root colonization of roots extracted from the upper soil layer (5cm) at all NUMEX plots. Roots are stained with Trypan Blue, AMF root colonization is examined by the line-intersect method.

Abstract:

Volumetric water content was measured every 30 minutes with FDR sensors at Plot 13 of NUMEX San Francisco in the organic layer and in 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm mineral soil depth. Data was recorded with a dataloger and aggregated to hourly values. Missing data are indicated by "NULL".
