1H-NMR characterization of soil dissolved organic matter from soil samples in control and warming plots in Blodgett Forest, CA (2014 and 2018)

The pathways of carbon transport and loss through and from soils—soil organic matter (SOM) depolymerization to dissolved organic carbon and mineralization to carbon dioxide (CO2)—are fundamentally driven by microbial activity, which is strongly regulated by environmental conditions. As part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Terrestrial Ecosystem Science Belowground Biogeochemistry Science Focus Area (SFA), we have established a novel whole-soil long-term warming experiment at the University of California (UC) Blodgett Forest Research Station (Sierra Nevada) in 2014, where we study the role of biogeochemical, microbial and geochemical process interactions in SOM (soil organic matter) decomposition and stabilization. This package contains metabolite data obtained through 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy on water-extracted soils. Soil samples were collected in 2014/06/03 and 2018/06/04 from 3 replicated paired plots that had been subjected to experimental warming since June 2014 to simulate a predicted climate change scenario for northern California. The following files are included: (1) nmr_h2o_data_raw.csv: raw data, (2) nmr_h2o_data_processed.csv: computed compound concentrations and metadata, (3) nmr_h2o_compound_metadata.csv: compound metadata, (4) nmr_h2o_sample_metadata.csv: sample metadata

rmap: An R package to plot and compare tabular data on customizable maps across scenarios and time

`rmap` is an R package that allows users to easily plot tabular data (CSV or R data frames) on maps without any Geographic Information Systems (GIS) knowledge. Maps produced by `rmap` are `ggplot` objects and thus capitalize on the flexibility and advancements of the `ggplot2` package and all elements of each map are thus fully customizable. Additionally `rmap` automatically detects and produces comparison maps if the data has multiple scenarios or time periods as well as animations for time series data. Advanced users can load their own shapefiles if desired. `rmap` comes with a range of pre-built color palettes but users can also provide any `R` color palette or create their own as needed. Four different legend types are available to highlight different kinds of data distributions. The input spatial data can be both gridded or polygon data. `rmap` is desgined in particular for comparing spatial data across scenarios and time periods and comes preloaded with standard country, state, and basin maps as well as custom maps compatible with the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) spatial boundaries. `rmap` has a growing number of users and its products have been used in multiple multisector dynamics publications as well as a required dependency in other R packages such as `rfasst` and `metis`. `rmap's` automatic processing of tabular data using pre-built map selection, difference map calculations, faceting, and animations offers unique functionality which makes it a powerful and yet simple tool for users looking to explore multi-sector, multi-scenario data across space and time.

Characterizing Heat Transfer in sCO 2 Cycle Coolers Utilizing the Wilson Plot Technique

Effective design of coolers can decrease the capital expense of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) power plants. Improved datasets reporting heat transfer from the CO 2 in the cycle cooler allow design engineers to calculate the required length of heat exchanger streams more accurately, thus reducing cooler material and heat exchanger cost. This study considered a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with non-condensing CO 2 on the tube side and water flow on the shell side. The average Nusselt number on the tube side was measured employing the Wilson plot technique for a flow at a Reynolds number, Re, equal to 1×10 5 and for a heat flux to mass flux ratio, Q"/G, ranging from 50 to 350 J/kg. The results indicate that the Nusselt number, Nu, increases as the CO 2 pressure decreases towards the critical point. The results also indicate that Nu increases to maximum at Q"/G = 215 J/kg and then decreases with further increases in Q"/G. The difference in Nu measured between the horizontal and vertical heat exchanger with downward flowing CO 2 is less than the experimental error.

SPRUCE Soil Metabolome Responses to Whole Ecosystem Warming in SPRUCE Experimental Plots Beginning in 2016

This dataset reports a suite of complementary environmental geochemical analyses of peat extracts and porewater samples from SPRUCE experimental plots across a range of whole ecosystem warming (WEW) temperature treatments beginning in 2016. Results of peat extract analyses include NMR and GC-MS analyses of central metabolites, liquid chromatography mass spectra (LC-MS) analyses of lipids, and quantitative proteomics. Porewater was analyzed by FTICR-MS for secondary metabolites, and for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) concentrations, stable isotope composition, and the differential solubility corrected CO2:CH4 ratio. This dataset contains six files in comma separated (*.csv) format.

SPRUCE Ground Observations of Phenology in Experimental Plots, 2019

This data set consists of phenological transition dates, as derived from direct observations of vegetative and reproductive phenology recorded by a human observer, from the SPRUCE experiment during 2019, the third full year of whole-ecosystem warming (Hanson et al. 2017). Both spring and autumn phenological events are included. Since April 2016, human observers have been directly tracking the phenology of both woody and herbaceous species on a weekly schedule within the SPRUCE experimental chambers. The observed date report here is the first survey date on which an event/phenophase was definitively observed. The SPRUCE experiment is located within the S1 peat bog at the Marcell Experimental Forest, approximately 40 km north of Grand Rapids in north-central Minnesota, USA. User note: Ground observations of phenology from 2016-2021 are available. See SPRUCE Ground Observations of Phenology in Experimental Plots, 2021 https://doi.org/10.25581/spruce.094/1874936 for the most recent data as well as links to all other ground phenology datasets.

SPRUCE Vegetation Phenology in Experimental Plots from Phenocam Imagery, 2015-2021

This data set consists of PhenoCam data from the SPRUCE experiment from the beginning of whole ecosystem warming (Hanson et al. 2017) in August 2015 through March 31 of 2022, with start- and end-of-season phenological transition dates derived through the end of autumn 2021. Digital cameras, or phenocams, installed in each SPRUCE enclosure track seasonal variation in vegetation “greenness”, a proxy for vegetation phenology and associated physiological activity. Three separate regions of interest (ROIs) were defined for each camera field of view, corresponding to different vegetation types and demarcating (1) Picea trees (vegetation type EN, for evergreen needleleaf); (2) Larix trees (vegetation type DN, for deciduous needleleaf); and (3) the mixed shrub layer (vegetation type SH). User Note: This dataset supersedes previous versions of SPRUCE Vegetation Phenology in Experimental Plots from Phenocam Imagery. A list of previous versions can be found in the Related Datasets section of the user guide.
