Two tables of data from a 2022 field experiment near Vent, Austria, testing cross-seasonal climate stressors on carbon cycling. The dataset includes plant shoot and root biomass, soil exchangeable organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon, and 13C incorporation into these pools. It was authored by Arthur Broadbent and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Modeling plant carbon allocation dynamics based on biomass and 13C tracer data.
- Analyzing soil carbon pool responses to climate stressors based on exchangeable organic and microbial biomass carbon measurements.
- Studying the fate of recent photosynthetic carbon in alpine ecosystems based on 13C incorporation data.
Strengths
- Data includes precise geographic coordinates (46.863217, 10.896800) and elevation (2472 ±1 m).
- Dataset is structured into two focused tables covering biomass, soil carbon pools, and tracer incorporation.
- The 13C pulse-labelling experiment provides a direct measure of carbon flow.
Limitations
- The dataset is small (19.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a small number of observations.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
