Soil C, N, P, and Frankia nifD-K RFLP genotypes distribution from Alnus tenuifolia nodules in early and late succession 2005

This dataset contains genetic characterizations of Frankia inhabiting Alnus tenuifolia nodules in early and late succession sites in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF). Characterizations were done using PCR-RFLP on the nifD-K spacer region of the Frankia genome. The position of each plant and each nodule were mapped in order to examine spatial patterns in Frankia distribution within sites. Soil chemistry data, including C, N, P, and pH, were also collected from mineral and organic layers.
