In situ CO2 efflux, root production, and fungal hyphae production measurements from a subarctic landscape in Northern Sweden. Data originates from six paired plots in mountain birch forest and five paired plots in tall shrub tundra, with one plot per pair girdled as an experimental treatment. Measurements include a time series of CO2 efflux from six sampling campaigns over two years and seasonal production data integrated from June to September.
Use Cases
- Analyze CO2 efflux time series data across six sampling campaigns to model seasonal carbon dynamics in subarctic ecosystems.
- Compare root and fungal hyphae production between girdled and control plots to assess carbon allocation impacts.
- Evaluate differences in production measurements between mountain birch forest and tall shrub tundra plot types.
Strengths
- Data includes paired experimental (girdled) and control plots across two distinct subarctic vegetation types.
- CO2 efflux measurements constitute a time series from six sampling campaigns over the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons.
- Production measurements integrate root and hyphae growth over entire growing seasons (June-September).
Limitations
- Production data provides only one integrated datapoint per plot per year, limiting temporal resolution for intra-seasonal analysis.
- Sample size is limited to 11 paired plots (22 total plots), which may constrain statistical power for some analyses.
