Abstract:
- This data publication includes the results of a study to develop a method for the extraction and indirect estimation of the quantity of calcium oxalate (CaOx) in tree foliage. This study included five sites in New Hampshire, four of which were in the Seaboard Lowlands section of the New England Physiographic Province and the fifth in the White Mountain section of the New England Physiographic Province. A large pool of foliar tissue was collected from a single tree of ten different species (five conifer and five hardwoods) in 2010 (Experiment 1). This provided homogeneous samples used to make comparisons of extractions in different solvents. For ten replicates of each species, calcium and oxalate were extracted from foliage in the following sequential steps: 1) double deionized water (DDW), 2) 2N Acetic acid (CH3COOH), and lastly, 3) five of the ten replicates were extracted in 5% (0.83N) Perchloric acid (PCA, HClO4) and the other five in 2N Hydrochloric acid (HCl) by freeze-thawing (3X) in each solvent. Total calcium (Ca), and other elements, were extracted by microwave digestion and quantified with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-OES), oxalate (and other organic acids) using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This experiment was then repeated with two conifer and two hardwood species using four trees per species and two analytical replicates for each tree in June 2014 (Experiment 2).

Description_of_Geographic_Extent:
- All sites lie within the state of New Hampshire. With the exception of Hedgehog Mountain in Albany, all sites are within Strafford County, entirely within the Piscataqua River (coastal) watershed. This part of New Hampshire is in the Seaboard Lowlands section of the New England Physiographic Province. Soils in this area are moderately deep to deep Inceptisols, formed in coarse glacial till, within the mesic temperature regime. Forests are northeastern coastal forests comprised of temperate broadleaf species with mixed conifers and northern hardwoods of the New England-Acadian variety. These sites are in hardiness zone 5b with an average growing season of approximately 149 days.
The Hedgehog Mountain site lies in Carroll County within the White Mountain section of the New England Physiographic Province. Soils consists of moderately deep Spodosols formed in coarse glacial till within the frigid temperature regime. Forest type is spruce-fir mixed with northern hardwoods. This site is in hardiness zone 5a.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- For total and soluble elemental analyses, a standard calibration was repeated after every 20 samples, and check standards were run after every recalibration and again after every 10 samples. For total elements, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) standards 1575A (Pine foliage), 1515 (Apple foliage) and 1547 (Peach foliage) were used for procedural verification. Total foliar extractions were done in accordance with EPA SW-846 Test Method 3052. Since there are no NIST standards available for fresh tissue, we used an in-house ground wood reference for quality control and assurance for elements in sequential and direct foliar extracts. ICP analysis was conducted following EPA SW-846 Test Method 6010.
For samples analyzed by HPLC for organic acids, we ran a large number of biological replicates as well as multiple analytical replicates on a randomly selected subset. HPLC analysis followed guidance within EPA SW-846 Test Method 8000D.
Appropriate method detection limits are tested for all analytical methods.
-
Logical_Consistency_Report:
- For all analyses, standards were repeated to ensure accuracy and precision; for biological samples, many analytical replicates were run for assurance. Proper statistical analyses were applied to the raw data to check distribution and remove outliers.

Methodology_Description:
- BACKGROUND
Sites for sampling were chosen mainly for proximity to our laboratory as well as the type of trees present and accessibility of the foliage. One healthy looking tree of ten different species, 5 broadleaf and 5 conifers, was randomly chosen for sampling. The goal was to choose a wide range of species to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.
The first part of this study (Experiment 1) included foliar samples collected from June through September, 2010. The second part of this study (Experiment 2), where part of experiment 1 was repeated, included foliage collected in June 2014.
FIELD COLLECTION OF FOLIAR SAMPLES
Using a pole pruner, small branches were abscised from sun-lit positions in the mid-canopy of (Experiment 1) one tree of each of 10 different species (all locations within NH, USA: red spruce from Hedgehog mountain, eastern hemlock and red oak from Woodman Horticultural farm, and white pine, Norway spruce, balsam fir, American beech, trembling aspen, yellow birch and sugar maple from the grounds at the USFS) that varied in age and diameter at breast height (dbh). For Experiment 2, foliage was collected in the same manner from four trees each of 4 species (red spruce from Kingman farm plantation, white pine from Woodman Horticultural farm, and sugar maple and black oak from East Foss farm). Individual branches were tagged and recorded at the time of sampling. Foliage remained intact on the woody stems and were placed in a cooler for transport back to the U.S. Forest Service, Louis C. Wyman Forestry Sciences Laboratory for processing. Other than red spruce foliage from Hedgehog mountain, all samples were processed within 4 hours of collection.
LABORATORY PROCESSING OF SAMPLES
Visually healthy leaves from several branchlets were chosen from each bough. A pool of approximately 10 grams (g) of leaf disks were collected from the broadleaf species using a paper punch (6.4 millimeter (mm) in diameter, major veins and areas of necrosis were excluded) and needles from the conifers were finely chopped (1-2 mm) using scissors. Each sample was thoroughly mixed to create a homogeneous pool. From the pooled tissue from each individual tree, 10 sub-samples of ~300 milligrams (mg) fresh weight (FW) each were weighed using a digital scale and placed into clean labeled 20 milliliter (ml) plastic scintillation vials. Ten ml of DDW (double deionized water) was added; these 10 replicates were extracted in a sequential series. Direct extractions with the same solvents and samples as the sequential extractions were done for comparison using 20 more sub-samples. Of those 20 sub-samples for direct extractions, 5 each received 10 ml of DDW, 2N Acetic Acid, 5% PCA, or 2N HCl. In the repeat experiment (Experiment 2), two analytical replicates (“a, b”) from 4 trees each of 2 coniferous and 2 broadleaf species were collected, weighed, and processed as described above except for HCl extractions which were not repeated.
The remainder of each sample was placed in a separate labeled vial to be used for total calcium (Ca), and other elements, analysis. Current-year and past-year needles were collected from the same branchlet but were processed separately. Corresponding sample information of exact weights, vial labels and tree information were all logged into a field notebook and recorded in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. All samples were stored at -20 °Celsius (C) until further analysis.

Methodology_Description:
- LABORATORY PROCESSING OF SAMPLES (continued)
All direct extracts were frozen/thawed for 3 cycles according to Minocha et al. (1994) and then kept frozen at -20 °C. All sequential extracts in DDW, on the third thaw, were vortexed at top speed for 30 seconds, the foliage allowed to settle, and the supernatant was carefully transferred to a clean scintillation vial using a pipette. The pellets were then washed with 40 ml DDW and dried overnight at 50 °C. The dried tissue was reconstituted with 10 ml of 2N acetic acid (second extraction in the sequence of 3), and the freeze-thawing, washing and drying steps were repeated. Again, that entire process was repeated for the final extraction where the pellets of 5 replicates were reconstituted in 10 ml 5% PCA and 5 in 2N HCl. Upon the fourth thaw, extracts were centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 8 minutes. The resulting supernatants were analyzed for soluble elements and organic acids.
The remaining foliar sub-samples (~800-1200 mg) stored at -20 °C were later thawed, dried at 60 °C for 7 days, and ground for 1 minute using a SPEX SamplePrep shatterbox (SPEX, Metuchen, NJ, USA) to produce a fine homogeneous powder. The dried, ground foliage was stored in a desiccator at room temperature until analysis for total Ca (and other elements).
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY METHODOLOGIES
Processing and Quantification of Total and Soluble Calcium (and other elements) in Foliage by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-OES):
The extraction of total Ca (and other elements) was done in accordance with EPA SW-846 Test Method 3052; 0.2 g of each ground sample was digested in 9 ml of concentrated nitric acid in Teflon vessels using a MARS™ Xpress microwave (CEM Corporation, Matthews, NC, USA). Before analysis, concentrated nitric acid digests were diluted to 50 ml volume with DDW, and all previously frozen/thawed direct and sequential extracts were diluted 2.5 times (conifers) and 5 times (hardwoods) with the appropriate matrix (DDW, 2N Acetic acid, 5% PCA or 2N HCl). Total and soluble elemental analyses were quantified using a simultaneous axial ICP-OES (Vista CCD, Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA) and Vista Pro software (v. 4.0) in accordance with EPA SW-846 Test Method 6010D. Raw data were expressed as parts per million (ppm) and were converted to micromoles (µmol) per g FW.
Processing and Quantification of Oxalic acid (and other organic acids) in Foliage by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):
Oxalic acid (and other organic acids) content was determined by HPLC based on other methods (Bai et al. 2006; Castellari et al. 2000; Pereira et al. 2010) that were optimized in our laboratory. Previously frozen samples were thawed and then vortexed at top speed. After the samples settled, they were filtered through a 0.45 micron (µm) nylon syringe filter (Pall Corporation, Port Washington, NY, USA) and placed into 2 ml autosampler vials. The samples were then run on a Series 200 PerkinElmer HPLC system including pump, auto-sampler fitted with a 200 microliter (µl) sample injection loop (20 µl injection volume), and UV/VIS detector set at a range of 0.2 and response of 0.02 (PerkinElmer Corporation, Norwalk, CT, USA). Absorbance was measured at 215 nanometers (nm). The organic acids were separated on a Phenomenex Synergi-Hydro-RP™, 4 µm, 100 x 4.6 mm I.D. C18 analytical column fitted with a Phenomenex SecurityGuard™, 5µm, 4 x 3 mm I.D. C18 cartridge guard column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA) that was heated to 25 °C, using 25 millimolar (mM) phosphate buffer (KH2PO4 + H3PO4) with 0.5 mM tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate and 1% methanol at pH 2.5 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml per minute. Oxalic acid typically eluted at 1.5 minutes. PerkinElmer TotalChrom HPLC software (v. 6.2.1) was used to integrate data. Calibration curves based on the elution profiles of the organic acid standards (made in the same matrix as the samples) were used to estimate concentration in sample extracts. Raw data were expressed as ppm and were then converted to µmol per g FW. HPLC analysis follows guidance within EPA SW-846, Test Method 8000D. Raw data were collected and integrated using TotalChrom HPLC software (v. 6.2.1) as nmoles (nmol) per ml and were converted to nmoles (nmol) per g FW.
