Biomass, mycorrhizal colonization, carbon and nitrogen content of Scots pine and birch seedlings grown in soil from mixed and monoculture stands

Seedlings were grown in soil collected from an experiment at Hambleton Forest, North Yorkshire. Soils originated from plots containing either Scots pine or birch monocultures, or a mixture of both species. In the lab, pairs of seedlings of birch and Scots pine were grown as monocultures and mixtures from each of the three plot treatments. The data represent the biomass, leaf C:N ratio and mycorrhizal status determined after 20 weeks.

Statement
Soils were collected and transported to the lab and sieved. Conetainers were filled with sieved soil and non-mycorrhizal seedlings germinated for 2-4 weeks were placed in the containers and transferred to a controlled environment chamber for 20 weeks. Plants were extracted, roots removed and assayed for colonisation under a microscope, and leafs dried, weighed, ground and analysed on a CN analyser. C and N analysis was using a CUBE elemental analyser and included known standards to check for drift and precision. Balances are calibrated regularly. Data were imported into Excel and plotted to check for any outliers.
