Seedling Canopy Chemistry, 1992-1993 (ACCP)

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 11, 2026 at 11:29 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 11, 2026
This data set describes the nitrogen and chlorophyll content of small, monospecific canopies formed from seedlings of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum). The trees were provided different levels of fertilization in order to produce canopies with varying nitrogen and chlorophyll concentration. For the Douglas-fir, fertilization was provided during the dormant season, so there were no differences in growth or leaf area among canopies, and canopies were at a constant density with varying foliar chemistry. For the maple, seedlings were aggregated at various densities, producing a matrix of leaf area as well as chemistry variations. Before destructive analysis for foliar chemistry, canopy reflectance was measured under natural sunlight (see ACCP Seedling Canopy Reflectance Spectra Data).
