Multiple Element Limitation in Northeast Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE): Root cores and mycorrhizal colonization

Root cores were obtained in 2010 (pre-treatment) from two soil depths,
0-10 cm and 30-50 cm, in two MELNHE stands, C5 and C7, at Bartlett
Experimental Forest. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal
(EM) colonization and root length were quantified in each core to
determine if AM or EM was more prevalent in shallow or deep soils. Detailed description and analyses of these data can be found in: Nash,
J.M., Diggs, F.M. & Yanai, R.D. Length and colonization rates of
roots associated with arbuscular or ectomycorrhizal fungi decline
differentially with depth in two northern hardwood forests. Mycorrhiza

(HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA
Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
