Description

This dataset was used to determine whether the EucFACE ecosystem was phosphorus (P) limited or not using 5 fertilised trees (+ 50 kg P ha-1 yr-1) and 5 control trees in the same stand as the EucFACE plots. There were 3 types of datasets associated with this effort: 1) physiological data which are the raw and fitted A-Ci response curves at different times of the year, 2) leaf nutrient concentrations (nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon, inorganic P and leaf mass per area ratio) and 3) growth data via monthly readings of dendrometer bands. This data has been published in Plant and Soil by Crous et al. (2015) titled "Is phosphorus limiting in a mature Eucalyptus woodland? Phosphorus fertilisation stimulates stem growth." Further data descriptions can be found in the embedded read-me.html. Pre-fertilisation leaf nutrient data were collected in 2011 (pre-treatment) with fertilisation starting in Jan 2012.
