To determine the nutrient efficiency of trees grown under fertilized (subplots) and unfertilized (main plots) conditions, leaf samples were collected at the peak of the growing season (~mid-July) and analyzed by the MSU Soil and Plant Nutrient Laboratory for several plant nutrients (aluminum, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, boron, sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur). The carbon and nitrogen contents of leaves were measured at KBS using a CHN analyzer.Poplar Leaf Nutrient AnalysisData Managerhttp://lter.kbs.msu.edu/protocols/155The Costech Elemental Combustion System 4010 is an automated combustion analyzer used to determine total carbon and nitrogen in soil and plant samples. This system employees a helium carrier gas to bring combustion gases to a gas chromatographic separation column and thermal conductivity detector. More information about the analyzer can be obtained from Costech Analytical Technologies (26074 Avenue Hall, Suite 13, Valencia, CA 91355 – USA or http://www.costechanalytical.com/)
For preparation and analysis of plant material, see https://lter.kbs.msu.edu/protocols/40. For preparation and analysis of soil, see https://lter.kbs.msu.edu/protocols/37.Costech Elemental Combustion System CHNS-O (ECS 4010)Data Managerhttp://lter.kbs.msu.edu/protocols/148To measure the plant total C and N, plant material is oven dried, finely ground, packed in tin foil capsules, combusted in an automated CHN analyzer, and expressed as the percentage of element in dried plant material.
Sampling frequency: Depends on experiment and research objective. For example, as part of our sampling program of the LTER Main Cropping System Experiment, C and N are determined annually in plant materials harvested at peak biomass for annual net primary production (ANPP).Plant Total Carbon and NitrogenData Managerhttp://lter.kbs.msu.edu/protocols/40https://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/339Kellogg Biological Station LTER: Poplar Leaf Test Lab Analyses - Major Nutrients (KBS087-001)Chemical analyses of poplar (treatment 8) leaf tissue in the GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment.
