Litterfall nutrient content in fertilised plots in the Central Amazon, 2017-2019

The data consists of leaf nutrients from litterfall in a fertilised old-growth forest in the Central Amazon. Data was collected in a full factorial nutrient addition experiment (nitrogen, phosphorus, and cation treatments). The dataset includes realized nutrient concentration carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium in grams and manganese, zinc in miligrams. Also hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin as a percentage. The fieldwork was completed in August of 2017, 2018, and 2019. The study was funded by NERC, BDFFP (logistical support), and the Brazilian government (students scholarship).
