Abstract:

Roots were collected at all NUMEX Plots (ECSF) in January 2009, except Ca treatments. 3 subplots were sampled per plot. Roots were stained with Trypan Blue and the percentage of root colonization determined using the line-intersect method.

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:

This dataset lists basic information about the plots of the NUMEX  experiment. 
It contains the coordinates of the center of the plot, a standardized lable of the plot and the treatment of the plot.

Abstract:

Fortnightly time series of throughfall fluxes from NUMEX San Francisco. Throughfall was measured the 20 plots of NUMEX San Francisco with 20 Hellmann-type collectors on each plot. The fortnightly time series extends between August 2007 and December 2016.

Abstract:

Monthly time series of measured concentrations of Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, C, N, S, P, K, Na, Mg, Ca in litterfall at NUMEX San Francisco between 2007 and 2013. 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 elemental analysis of C, N, and S by thermal combustion (Elementar Analysensysteme, Hanau, Germany) and acid microwave digestion with concentrated HNO3. Element concentrations in the digested samples were measured by AAS, ICP-OES or ICP-MS.

Abstract:

Fortnightly time series of measured electrical conductivity and pH values in throughfall at NUMEX San Francisco. The fortnightly time series extends between August 2007 and December 2016. Throughfall was sampled on the 20 NUMEX plots with Hellmann-type collectors. On each plot 20 replicates were collected, volume-weighted and bulked to one sample per plot. Electrical conductivity and pH values were measured immediately in unfiltered aliquots in the laboratory of the ECSF.
