Roots Carbon Dynamics in Temperate forest roots, Thuringia, Germany (Q6720117)

These files containradiocarbon, d13C,NSC concentrations, and CO2 efflux rates measured for aspen (Populus tremula hybrids) roots collected during 2018 growing season inthe Groer Hermannsberg Mountain, Germany (504250 N, 103613 E, 616 m a.s.l). Coarse ( 2 mm) and fine (2 mm) roots collected from three treatments: before stem girdling (Pre-girdling), ~3 months after girdling (Girdling) and ~3 months after girdling but in un-girdled trees (Control). The files with the relevant results: 13C, 14C, CO2_efflux, NSC. Few roots from the Pre-girdling treatment were incubated for respiration measurements 7 d after harvest.The files with the relevant results: Repeated_incubations_isotopes, Repeated_incubations_fluxes. Results of incubations used for Q10 calculations presented in the file CO2_efflux_Q10. Temperature and rainfall in the site during 2018 growing season are presented in the file Field_temperature_rainfall. Results used to reconstruct local atmospheric D14C-CO2 record are presented in the fileLocal_atmospheric_CO2_D14C. The file Metadata contains information about the headers in the other files.
