Abstract:

This data publication includes measurements of fine root traits and the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools in fine and coarse roots of a 32-year-old stand of Pinus ponderosa located in the University of Idaho Experimental Forest in northern Idaho. Fine root data, collected at four depths (forest floor and 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm) from the four cardinal directions of each of 15 trees, includes length, diameter, volume, specific root length, and C and N concentration. Coarse root data includes wood density (nine random samples across a range of first-order lateral root diameters), and C and N concentrations systematically sampled across three taproot depths and three first order lateral root locations for ten trees. Measurements were obtained between 2017 and 2023.
