Dahurian Larch Nutrient and Trait Data from Permafrost Uplands and Lowlands

5.9 MB of data from a study comparing upland and lowland Dahurian larch forests at the southern edge of the Eurasian permafrost zone. The dataset includes tree and soil nutrient concentrations, stoichiometric ratios, and functional traits, authored by Qiyue Fu and last updated on 2026-05-27. It was published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Modeling phosphorus limitation shifts in boreal trees based on soil active layer thickness and moisture gradients.
• Analyzing relationships between leaf stoichiometry and acquisitive plant strategies based on specific leaf area and leaf dry matter content.
• Investigating the relative influence of climate versus soil factors on tree nutrient status using explained variance metrics from the study.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data types (CSV, TXT, R, PNG) supporting analysis and reproducibility.
• Dataset is 5.9 MB, facilitating quick download and local processing.
• Clear research context provided in the abstract, detailing comparisons between upland and lowland sites.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
