Hubbard Brook Nitrogen Oligotrophication (HBNO): Leaf mass per area

This data set encompasses leaf area and dry weights for collected freshly shot leaves (early August) and fallen leaves (entire leaf fall period) along the elevation gradient of 14 sites used for the nitrogen oligotrophication study at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. This data will be used to calculate nutrient resorption along the elevation gradient for sugar maple (collection years: 2020-2022) and American beech (2021-2022).

These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (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.
