Nitrogen and phosphorus content of mesquite tree tissues from four habitats at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 1987

This data package contains data on measured concentrations of
nutrients in mesquite tree tissues collected from four habitat types
at the Jornada Basin LTER site. These habitat types include:
(1)playa, (2)arroyo,(3)dunes, and (4)grassland and samples were
collected in conjunction with phenology studies and natural
abundance of N15 sampling during 1987. Leaves, stems, flowers, and
pods were collected from mesquite sample tissues and individually
digested and analyzed for total nitrogen (Kjeldahl) and total
phosphorus. This data set consists of the date of collection,
collection site, leaf total nitrogen, stem total nitrogen, flower
total nitrogen, pod total nitrogen, leaf total phosphorus, stem
total phosphorus, flower total phosphorus, and pod total phosphorus.
Data from this study was collected in 1987. Prior data was collected
in 1986, but had differing attributes and is therefore published in
a separate data package (knb-lter-jrn.210386008).
