Effects of permafrost thaw on nitrogen availability and plant-soil interactions in a boreal Alaskan lowland: II - Nitrogen Data 2013

This dataset examines shifts in extractable soil pore water chemistry along a lowland boreal permafrost thaw chronosequence. Data was collected in 2013 at the APEX Beta and forested study plots, located adjacent to the BNZ experimental forest. Measured parameters include: dissolved inorganic N (DIN), dissolved organic N (DON), free amino acids, total dissolved N (TDN), soil temp. at 10 cm, seasonal ice depth, and volumetric soil moisture at 10 cm. Soil pore water samples and environmental variables were collected every three to four weeks from late June to late September, 2013 for a total of five sampling events.
