Title:Data for: Reburning before recovery: Effects of short-interval fire on subalpine forest nitrogen stocks and fluxes
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

In forests adapted to infrequent (>100-yr) stand-replacing fires, novel short-interval (<30-yr) fires have started to burn young forests before they recover from previous burns. Postfire tree regeneration is reduced, plant communities shift, soils are hotter and drier, but effects on biogeochemical cycling are unresolved. This study focused on how postfire nitrogen (N) stocks, N availability and N fixation varied in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests burned at long and short intervals in Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming, USA). This data package includes our field data from 2021 and 2022, along with laboratory analyses of foliar and litter chemistry, resin-sorbed N, and field measurements of N fixation. The data included here were also used to compute aboveground N stocks. Our study found that short-interval fires reduced and repartitioned aboveground N stocks, but soil N stocks were unaffected. Results indicate that these shifts in N pools and fluxes suggest reburns can markedly alter N cycling in subalpine forests. The citation for the publication associated with these data is:

Study Design

The study was conducted in areas burned by two fires. The 1,280-ha Glade Fire burned during summer 2000 in 120- and 150-yr old lodgepole pine forests that had regenerated after stand-replacing fires in 1856 and 1879, thus burning within the region’s historical long FRI. The 8,500-ha Berry Fire burned during summer 2016 in similar old lodgepole pine forests and in 16-yr old lodgepole pines that regenerated after the Glade Fire. We sampled 12 study plots to contrast the effects of short-interval (16 yr) fire with (a) areas burned as long-interval fire in the same most recent fire (2016), and (b) areas that regenerated after the same previous long-interval fire (2000) that had not reburned.

Stand structure and plant communities were sampled in July 2021. We tallied all postfire tree seedlings and aspen ramets in three 50-m x 2-m belt transects oriented due north and separated by 25 m along the south baseline that ran due east. At 5-m intervals along each transect, we located the nearest lodgepole pine and recorded its basal diameter and diameter at breast height (DBH) if height ≥ 1.37 m (n = 25 trees/plot). We also located the nearest aspen and recorded the number and height of each ramet emerging from a root crown. Because aspens were patchy within and among plots, we measured up to 25 aspens per plot based on their presence. Forest understory vegetation (graminoids, forbs, shrubs) was sampled by recording percent cover by species in 25 quadrats (0.50-m x 0.50-m) spaced at 5-m intervals along each transect. Percent cover of bare mineral soil, litter, moss, lichen and wood was also recorded in each quadrat. Data were then averaged by plot.

Downed coarse wood (≥ 7.5 cm diameter) was measured in 2017 in the nine previously established plots in which fire-killed snags had already fallen (Turner et al. 2019), so we did not re-measure coarse wood in those plots in 2021. We sampled downed coarse wood in the three newly established plots using the same protocols. Measurements were made along three 31.25-m Brown’s transects oriented at azimuths of 0º, 120º and 240º to avoid potential sample bias from non-random orientation of logs. Decay class (1-5, from sound to rotten) was also recorded for each log. Fre-killed trees were still standing in these three plots (TSF = 5 yrs), and we counted all snags rooted within each 50-m  2-m belt transect by species and recorded the DBH of the nearest snag at each 5-m interval (n = 25 snags).

Organic N Concentrations

N concentrations. Litter and soils were sampled in July 2021. Each plot was subdivided into four 25-m x 25-m quadrants. At 3-m from each quadrant centroid in three sub-cardinal directions (northeast, southeast, and southwest; n = 12 per plot), we collected a mineral soil core (2-cm diameter x 15-cm depth) and all aboveground litter within a 30-cm x 30-cm quadrat frame; the internal dimensions of the quadrat frame were 27-cm x 27-cm, and this inner area was used when extrapolating litter mass to the plot. Litter samples were air dried in the field, returned to the lab, dried at 60˚C to constant mass, and the mass recorded. Litter and soil samples were analyzed for C and N content on a Thermo Flash EA 1112 analyzer. In July 2023, we revisited each plot to measure soil bulk density by collecting a mineral soil core (5-cm diameter x 15-cm depth) from each quadrant. Samples were dried at 105˚C and weighed to obtain bulk density estimates, then sieved and weighed again to obtain fine fraction (< 2 mm diameter) density.

Foliar N was sampled in July 2022. For trees, we collected fully emerged foliage from eight lodgepole pines in each plot (two in each quadrant) and, when present, from eight distinct aspen ramets in each plot. We identified a lodgepole pine representative in size of the dominant postfire cohort located three to four meters to the northeast and southwest from the centroid of each quadrant. We harvested a branch from the upper, middle, and lower third of the canopy of each tree, selecting branches exposed to sun when possible. For very small lodgepole pines (e.g., 5-yr old stems), all foliage was collected from each individual. Foliage was removed from each branch, placed in paper bags by tree, and woody material was discarded. A similar procedure was followed for aspens. For the understory vegetation, we identified the five most abundant species in each plot from the 2021 percent cover data. For each of these species in each plot, we collected all aboveground biomass from at least five individuals. Samples were composited by species in each plot. Foliage samples were processed for C and N analysis as described above for litter samples.

N stocks. Calculation of N stocks from raw data are described in Turner et al. (in press). For this study, We developed new allometric equations for aboveground biomass of aspen ramets and four understory species that were not included in our prior studies. The data used for computing the allometric equations are included in this data package.

Annual Inorganic N Availability

We incubated 16 mixed-bed ion exchange resin bags in each plot for one year (July 2021 to July 2022) as an index of plant-available N. Bags were constructed from undyed nylon stocking material and filled with 20 g of mixed-bed ion exchange resin beads (J. T. Baker). Resin bags were soaked in 2M KCl and rinsed with deionized water prior to deployment. We installed one resin bag in each cardinal direction at a distance of 2 m from each quadrant centroid. Resin bags were retrieved in July 2022. Results were adjusted for the number of days of incubation and reported in µg N bag-1 day-1. This data package includes results from all resin bags that were retrieved; in some cases, bags were disturbed by wildlife during the year or were missing.

N Fixation

We sampled N fixation in litter, soils and moss in July 2021 using an acetylene reduction assay to measure nitrogenase activity. Samples of pine litter, mineral soil (0-2 cm) and moss crust (Ceratodon purpureus) were collected into 50-ml acrylic tubes from each quadrant of each plot and processed the same day. Samples were injected with acetylene (C2H2) gas to replace 10% of the tube headspace with C2H2 (generated via calcium carbide reaction with water). The headspace was mixed after injection, and samples were incubated for 18 to 24 hours in a partially wooded stand at ambient temperature. After incubation, headspace samples were collected and stored in vacuum sealed serum vials for transport back to the University of Montana. C2H4 production was then measured using a Shimadzu GC-2014 equipped with a flame ionization detector (Shimadzu Inc., Kyoto, Japan).

Nitrogen fixation rates were calculated by assuming a theoretical conversion ratio of 3 mol C2H4 : 1 mol N2 fixed. Following incubation, litter and moss samples were oven dried at 60° C for 72 hours and soil samples at 105° C to obtain dry masses. We then paired fixation rates with plot-level cover of moss crust and plot-level litter mass to estimate the amounts of N being fixed by these niches. Soil N fixation rates were scaled up using the total area and mean fine fraction density of soils in each plot to a depth of 2 cm. Plot-level N fluxes from fixation in the three niches were then extrapolated on an hourly basis to annual growing season estimates.

Abstract:

Western conifer forests are being transformed by fire, and young postfire forests blanket more of the landscape each year as fire frequency and size increase. As historically long intervals between high-severity fires (100-300 yr) decline, young forests (< 30 yrs) are also starting to reburn before trees are reproductively mature and nutrient stocks are replenished. Yet, there is a surprising paucity of knowledge about nitrogen (N) recovery in aggrading young forests that regenerate after high-severity fire. Northern conifer forests are typically strongly N limited, but how ecosystem N stocks lost via combustion are replenished following stand-replacing fires in western forests where symbiotic N-fixers are scant is unknown. For example, studies after the massive 1988 Yellowstone Fires documented large increases in forest ecosystem N stocks from 15 to 25 years postfire despite the absence of N-fixing trees, minimal cover of N-fixing herbs, and very low rates of atmospheric N deposition; the sources of N recovery are unresolved. Increased fire frequency could reduce N pools and alter recovery rates if young forests reburn, but such consequences remain unexplored. Using field observations and an experiment, this research will determine how N recovers in aggrading postfire lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) stands in Greater Yellowstone (Wyoming, USA) and how N recovery might change with more frequent stand-replacing fire. Key knowledge gaps in terrestrial ecosystem ecology will be addressed within three questions: (1) What are the sources and rates of N inputs in aggrading lodgepole pine forests (< 40 yrs postfire), and how do sources and rates vary with stand structure and time since fire? (2) How does N availability regulate N fixation and N limitation in aggrading young (< 40 yr) lodgepole pine forests with increasing time since fire? (3) How do short-interval (< 30 yr) stand-replacing fires affect N fixation, N availability, and N stocks? Understanding ecosystem dynamics in young postfire forests is urgent, as these forests will shape patterns of wildlife habitat and the ecosystem services upon which people depend for decades.
