Title:	White oak and red maple foliar chemistry of urban and reference forests of the eastern US
Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	Foliar chemistry values were obtained from two important native tree species (white oak (Quercus alba L.) and red maple (Acer rubrum L.)) across urban and reference forest sites of three major cities in the eastern United States during summer 2015 (New York, NY (NYC); Philadelphia, PA; and Baltimore, MD). Trees were selected from secondary growth oak-hickory forests found in New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and Baltimore, MD, as well as at reference forest sites outside each metropolitan area. In all three metropolitan areas, urban forest patches and references forest sites were selected based on the presence of red maple and white oak canopy dominant trees in patches of at least 1.5 hectares with slopes less than 25%, and well-drained soils of similar soil series within each metropolitan area. Within each city, several forest patches were selected to capture the variation in forest patch site conditions across an individual city. All reference sites were located in protected areas outside of the city and within intermix wildland-urban interface landscapes, in order to target similar contexts of surrounding land use and population density (Martinuzzi et al. 2015). Several reference sites were selected for each city, located within the same protected area considered representative of rural forests of the region. White oaks were at least 38.1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), red maples were at least 25.4 cm DBH, and all trees were dominant or co-dominant canopy trees. The trees had no major trunk cavities and had crown vigor scores of 1 or 2 (less than 25% overall canopy damage; Pontius & Hallett 2014). From early July to early August 2015, sun leaves were collected from the periphery of the crown of each tree with either a shotgun or slingshot for subsequent analysis to determine differences in foliar chemistry across cities and urban vs. reference forest site types. The data were used to invstigate whether differences in native tree physiology occur between urban and reference forest patches, and whether those differences are site- and species-specific.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Three leaves from each tree were pressed and dried immediately after collection. Oven-dried foliage was ground to create a composite sample for each tree and was subsequently digested using a microwave-assisted acid digestion procedure (USEPA Method 3052) and analyzed for Al, Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, S, and P by ICP spectroscopy. Foliar N was determined by combustion with a PerkinElmer 2400 series II CHNS/O analyzer (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA).
