In NitrogenUptake2016: Data and Source Code From: Nitrogen Uptake and Allocation Estimates for Spartina Alterniflora and Distichlis Spicata

Description

Data: Nutrient concentrations, stable isotope ratios, and biomass from destructive mesocosm harvests

Usage

CN_mass_data

Format

A dataframe with 1192 observations of 16 variables:

time

Time point of harvest (harvested at one-week intervals)

new.core.id

Unique mesocosm identifier, including species (SA or DS) and mesocosm number

depth_bottom

Depth at bottom of sample (only applicable for belowground data)

sample.type

Sample material; tissue type

interval

Depth interval for sample; indicates the top and bottom depths (e.g., an entry of "5_10" covers the depth interval from 5-10 cm)

pool_label

Label for each pool (combination of "sample.type" and "depth_bottom")

id

Same as "pool_label" but with mesocosm ID included

species

Spartina alterniflora (SA) or Distichlis spicata (DS)

d15n

15-N isotope ratio in per mille units

n_pct

Nitrogen content, decimal fraction (0.015 = 1.5 percent)

d13c

13-C isotope ratio in per mille units

c_pct

Carbon content, decimal fraction (0.015 = 1.5 percent)

total_volume_cm3

Total volume of interval (only applicable for belowground data)

depth_top

Depth at top of sample (only applicable for belowground data)

sample.type2

Simplified "sample.type" column; leaf numbers dropped, and belowground stems included as "stems"

g_core

Total mass (grams) in entire pool; corrects for subsampling of depth intervals
