Based on Cajanuma Thies station 1998 - Feb. 2013 

Gap filled and quality check Feb 2013 until Dec 2017 UTPL station Finca Jipiro Alto relatively close by.
Remaining gaps are filled with various stations, mostly Thies station "El Tiro"

Methods: Regression from overlapping periods

Restriction for rainfall since 2013 ! No dry days at the station, otherwise too low rainfall totals 
(thus, do not use this parameter for climate change analyses regarding changes of dry days!)

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.

The AMF sequences were divided into OTUs based on 99% sequence similarity. It revealed that AMF species compositions at 1000 and 2000 masl differ from 3000 and 4000 masl. Lower elevations (1000 and 2000 masl) were dominated by members of Glomeraceae, whereas Acaulosporaceae were more abundant in higher elevations (3000 and 4000 masl).

Corrected plots from Bombuscaro, ECSF, Cajanuma, Zamora and Laipuna region as shape files.

Monthly measurement of soil temperature and soil gas fluxes (CO2, N2O) in the NUMEX plots in Bombuscaro, ECSF und Cajanuma

Monthly measurements of gas fluxes were performed using static vented chambers.
Soil temperature was taken simultaneously with gas measurements.

The dataset includes chemical properties of the organic layer and mineral soil on forest and pastures core plots in Cajanuma during sampling campaigns in 2018 and 2019. Three soil profiles were established on each core plot. Respresentative samples were taken from each horizon, dried and transported to Germany for laboratory analyses. Available nitrogen (NH4-N and NO3-N) was immediately extracted in the laboratory of the ECSF with 1 M KCl. The extracts were frozen and sent to Germany for laboratory analyses by continuous flow analysis. Following properties were measured in the < 2mm soil fraction: available P after extraction by the Olsen method with 0.5 M NaHCO3 and measurement by continuous flow analysis, total element concentrations Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, C, N, S, P, K, Na, Mg, Ca after microwave pressure digestion with HNO3, H2O2 and HF and measurement by by ICP-OES or ICP-MS, effective cation exchange capacity and exchangeable cations Ca, Na, Mg, K, Al, Fe, Mn after unbuffered extraction with 1M NH4NO3 and measurement by ICP-OES.

Abundance of ant species were collected during the wet and the dry season 2014 on the core plots and intermediate elevation levels (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000) on disturbed and undisturbed forest plots.

Ongoing data collected from the Cajanuma tower station at 2888 masl.

Raw data, initial visual control only. Use data with great care, errors might be included.

Measurements of gas flux (CO2, CH4, N2O) in canopy soils of NUMEX plots on four dates (Sept/Nov 2011 and Jan/April 2012). Measurements were taken in 3 of the 4 NUMEX blocks at each elevation; treatments measured included C, N, NP and P.

Gas fluxes were measured by incubating intact soil cores.
Gas samples were analyzed on a gas chromatograph with a FID and ECD.
Note that the units for CO2 are mg CO2-C m-2 h-1 (not g CO2-C).

Tree functional traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, foliar N, foliar P, leaf toughness, bark thickness, wood specific gravity, sapwood vessel density, sapwood vessel diameter, sapwood-specific conductivity) recorded in the upper montane forests of the Podocarpus National Park (Cajanuma entrance).
