Measured N productivity for the control plots in the sites "UP2," "UP3," "FP2," "FP3," and FP4 of the BNZ-LTER study. The foliage biomass and foliage nitrogen were estimated in 1989 The annual production is an estimate of the production that occurred from 1989 through 1993 divided into an annual basis. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Site Species Aboveground Foliage Foliage N productivity annual biomass nitrogen(%) (kg growth/ production (kg/m2) kg foliar N) (kg/m2) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ UP2A birch 0.149 0.115 1.84 70.42 UP2A poplar 0.058 0.048 1.71 70.66 UP2A spruce 0.08 0.327 1.08 38.09 UP2B birch 0.132 0.09 1.84 79.71 UP2B poplar 0.172 0.162 1.71 62.09 UP2B spruce 0.029 0.12 1.08 37.81 UP2C aspen 0.265 0.141 2.02 93.04 UP3A birch 0.032 0.019 1.91 88.18 UP3A spruce 0.188 1.257 1.07 29.56 UP3A alder 0.004 0.008 2.49 20.08 UP3B birch 0.143 0.111 1.91 67.45 UP3B spruce 0.216 0.74 1.07 42.86 UP3B alder 0.024 0.012 2.49 80.32 UP3C birch 0.023 0.017 1.91 70.83 UP3C spruce 0.341 1.131 1.07 43.76 UP3C alder 0.014 0.006 2.49 93.71 FP2A poplar 0.621 0.216 1.56 184.29 FP2A alder 0.136 0.08 2.69 63.2 FP2B poplar 0.913 0.457 1.56 128.06 FP2B alder 0.081 0.062 2.69 48.57 FP2C poplar 0.659 0.336 1.56 125.73 FP2C alder 0.084 0.052 2.69 60.05 FP3A poplar 0.378 0.32 1.84 64.2 FP3A spruce 0.221 0.35 1.03 77.49 FP3A alder 0.024 0.011 2.56 85.23 FP3B spruce 0.283 0.366 1.03 91.25 FP3B alder 0.015 0.008 2.56 73.24 FP3C poplar 0.284 0.253 1.84 61.01 FP3C spruce 0.429 1.151 1.03 52.37 FP4A birch 0.011 0.006 1.91 95.99 FP4A spruce 0.244 1.516 0.99 33.1 FP4A alder 0.013 0.006 2.52 85.98 FP4B spruce 0.25 1.785 0.99 30.99 FP4B alder 0.019 0.008 2.52 94.25 FP4C spruce 0.258 1.135 0.99 39.8
