Tropical Tree Leaf BVOC Emissions Under Nitrogen Deposition Manipulation

A five-year field manipulation of wet nitrogen deposition in tropical restoration plots established on severely nitrogen-poor soil. The dataset tests how reduced, ambient, elevated, and high nitrogen inputs affected leaf isoprene and monoterpene emissions in four representative tree species across wet and dry seasons. The dataset was authored by Runcheng Zhu and last updated on April 27, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emission responses based on nitrogen deposition levels described in the experiment.
• Analyzing seasonal variation in isoprene and monoterpene emissions based on wet and dry season measurements.
• Studying the resilience of leaf traits in nitrogen-poor tropical trees based on the described field manipulation.
• Calibrating atmospheric chemistry models with empirical BVOC data from tropical restoration species.

Strengths

• Data originates from a five-year longitudinal field experiment.
• Experimental design includes four distinct nitrogen deposition treatments (reduced, ambient, elevated, high).
• Measurements cover both wet and dry seasons, capturing temporal variation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
