Measurements of gross N cycling rates in the soils of the Ice Storm Experiment (ISE) plots at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest

As the climate changes, it is thought that ice storms will begin to occur with increasing frequency. This project evaluates the damage and changes ice storms cause to northern hardwood forests in nutrient cycling. Ten 20x30 meter plots were established in a predominately sugar maple stand, with 4 icing treatments and 2 control plots. This data set includes gross ammonification, gross ammonium consumption, gross nitrification, and gross nitrate consumption monitored in the Ice Storm Experiment plots at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest from 2015-2017.

随着气候变化，学界普遍认为冰暴的发生频率将逐步升高。本项目旨在评估冰暴对北方硬木森林养分循环造成的损害与改变。研究团队在以糖枫为优势树种的林分中设置了10块20×30米的样地，其中包含4个结冰处理组与2个对照组样地。本数据集涵盖2015年至2017年间，在哈伯布鲁克实验林（Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest）冰暴实验样地中监测得到的总氨化作用、总铵消耗、总硝化作用与总硝酸盐消耗数据。
