The ORNL DAAC announces the release of a data set entitled "Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide on Litter Chemistry and Decomposition."
The data set contains the results of both published experiments and unpublished experiments investigating the impacts of increased carbon dioxide on the chemistry (nitrogen and lignin concentrations) of leaf litter and the decomposition of plant tissues. The data are assembled in a format appropriate for statistical meta-analysis of the effects of carbon dioxide.
See our Vegetation Collections page to access the data and documentation.
