  • The Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) project studies N , P, and Ca acquisition and limitation of forest productivity through a series of nutrient manipulations in northern hardwood forests. This data set includes data testing effects of elevated N and P availability on fine root growth (using ingrowth cores) and biomass in the MELNHE project. Subsets of ingrowth cores were treated with nutrients differing from the plot-scale nutrient treatments to test fine root foraging.

    Additional detail on the MELNHE project, including a datatable of site descriptions and a pdf file with the project description and diagram of plot configuration can be found in this data package: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=344

    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.
