Abstract:

These data contain biochemical parameters as measured in foliage of two hardwood tree species in the northeastern U.S. in response to damage caused by a regional ice storm. In January of 1998, a major storm event left over 17 million acres of forests in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada covered in variable thicknesses of ice. By October 1998 ice damaged study plots were established and comparative crown damage assessments were completed. In mid-July to mid-August 1999, 2000, and 2001 foliage was collected from 3 crown damage classes, representing different percentages of crown loss, of sugar maple growing at Butterfield Mountain, VT, and from American beech trees in the Bartlett Experimental Forest, NH. A follow-up collection was made from the remaining beech trees at Bartlett in 2015. Data used to evaluate how/when trees respond to the effects of injury and/or recovery includes free polyamines, free amino acids, soluble ions, chlorophyll and soluble proteins that were analyzed using an HPLC, ICP, and spectrophotometer.
