Soil and vegetation parameters from re-visitation of fertilisation experiment at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard
In 1991 a nitrogen x phosphorus fertilisation experiment on dwarf shrub tundra close to Ny-Alesund, Svalbard was established. Treatments (0, 10, 50 kg N ha-1 yr-1; 0, 5 kg P ha-1 yr-1) were applied to Cassiope heath for 3 years and Dryas heath for 8 years. In 2011 the experiment was revisited to investigate the persistence of effects of fertilisation on species composition, vegetation nutrient status and ecosystem carbon stocks. The whole experiment has been led by Dr Sarah Woodin and colleagues, University of Aberdeen. The 2011 study, for which data are provided, was undertaken by Dr Lorna Street.
Funded was provided by the NERC grant NE/I016899/1

- Statement
-
Standard analytical laboratory quality control procedures followed (eg inclusion of appropriate blanks and standards at intervals throughout sample analysis runs).
No significant data losses or cleaning of data required.
Species composition, foliar nutrient concentrations and NDVI were measured for all treatments on both heath types. Other parameters were measured in control, phosphorus, high nitrogen and high nitrogen plus phosphorus plots only.
