Abstract:

These data are from a study that evaluated the seasonal differences in the amount of calcium oxalate (CaOx) that was extracted in the third sequential fraction with 5% perchloric acid (PCA) after the extractions in water and acetic acid from foliage of red spruce, white pine, black oak, and sugar maple trees. Data are provided in absolute concentrations and also as a percent of total calcium. This study included three sites in New Hampshire, all within the Seaboard Lowlands section of the New England Physiographic Province. Foliar samples were collected from the same four replicate trees, six times for conifers and four times for hardwoods over the course of a little more than one calendar year (which equates to two growing seasons). Samples were collected in June and September 2014, and February, April, July and September 2015. Also included are data providing concentrations of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), phosphorous (Ph), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) in sequential fractions (in water, 2N acetic acid, 5% PCA), direct extraction (in 5% PCA) and total inorganic elements extractions in hot acid, as well as amino acids and polyamine levels in direct 5% PCA extracts of foliage of red spruce, white pine, black oak, and sugar maple.
