Measurements of gross N cycling rates in the soils of the Ice Storm Experiment (ISE) plots at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest

As the climate changes, it is thought that ice storms will begin to occur with increasing frequency. This project evaluates the damage and changes ice storms cause to northern hardwood forests in nutrient cycling. Ten 20x30 meter plots were established in a predominately sugar maple stand, with 4 icing treatments and 2 control plots. This data set includes gross ammonification, gross ammonium consumption, gross nitrification, and gross nitrate consumption monitored in the Ice Storm Experiment plots at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest from 2015-2017.
