Abstract:

The Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) project studies N and P acquisition and limitation of forest productivity through a series of nutrient manipulations in northern hardwood forests. This data set is published in support of a manuscript titled "Nitrogen and phosphorus co-limitation of forest growth in northern hardwood forests" and includes data and code used in the analysis. The primary diameter breast height dataset can be found in:

Fisk, M.C., R.D. Yanai, and T.J. Fahey. 2022. Tree DBH response to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization in the MELNHE study, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, Bartlett Experimental Forest, and Jeffers Brook ver 1. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/377b1fd44bd88a58e9654ab207e50706 (Accessed 2024-07-14).

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.
