Data from: Soil organic carbon stability in forests: distinct effects of tree species identity and traits
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased interest in the potential for forest ecosystems and soils to act as carbon (C) sinks. While soil organic C contents often vary with tree species identity, little is known about if, and how, tree species influence the stability of C in soil. Using a 40‐year‐old common garden experiment with replicated plots of eleven temperate tree species, we investigated relationships between soil organic matter (SOM) stability in mineral soils and 17 ecological factors (including tree tissue chemistry, magnitude of organic matter inputs and their turnover, microbial community descriptors, and soil physico‐chemical properties). We measured five SOM stability indices, including heterotrophic respiration, C in aggregate‐occluded particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated SOM, and bulk SOM δ15N and ∆14C. The stability of SOM varied substantially among tree species and this variability was independent of the amount of organic C in soils. Thus, when considering forest soils as C sinks, the stability of C stocks must be considered in addition to their size. Further, our results suggest tree species regulate soil C stability via the composition of their tissues, especially roots. Stability of SOM appeared to be greater (as indicated by higher δ15N and reduced respiration) beneath species with higher concentrations of nitrogen and lower amounts of acid‐insoluble compounds in their roots, while SOM stability appeared to be lower (as indicated by higher respiration and lower proportions of C in aggregate‐occluded POM) beneath species with higher tissue calcium contents. The proportion of C in mineral‐associated SOM and bulk soil ∆14C, though, were negligibly dependent on tree species traits, likely reflecting an insensitivity of some SOM pools to decadal‐scale shifts in ecological factors. Strategies aiming to increase soil C stocks may thus focus on particulate C pools, which can more easily be manipulated and are most sensitive to climate change

Bacteria killing ability data
FILE NAME: Bacteria killing ability data
File contains bacteria killing ability of plasma samples collected from Japanese quail at various days post-hatch (days 5,20,55). Data were collected by Ben Burrows and Noah Ben-Ezra.
Contact for data: Gary Burness
COLUMN HEADINGS:
Trial number: Two trials of the experiment were run, 1 (starting September 2014) and 2 (starting December 2014).
Band number: Individual band ID to tell individuals apart.
Treatment: Incubator temperature treatment (Control = 37.5 Celsius; Low = 36.0 Celsius; Cyclical = average temperature was 36 Celsius, but the temperature was allowed to cycle between 37.5 Celsius and 28 Celsius.
Age: The age post-hatch at which a blood sample was collected, 1 = day 5 post-hatch; 2 = day 20 post-hatch; 3 = day 55 post-hatch.
Sex: F=female, M=male.
BKA (%): the percentage of E. coli that were killed (bacteria killing ability) when they were added to an individual’s blood plasma.
Day 5 mass (g): Body mass recorded on day 5 (in grams).
Day 20 mass (g): Body mass recorded on day 20 (in grams).
Day 55 mass (g): Body mass recorded on day 55 (in grams).
Mass (g) stacked: All body mass values (in grams), placed in a single column.
NOTES: Any additional comments on birds.

SorensonAndDamschen2019_TreeDBH_SubplotLevel
Surrounding canopy trees were measured for each subplot by recording species ID, distance from subplot, and diameter at breast height (DBH). Basal area was calculated from dbh. Data was recorded May 27–June 5. Each tube was visited, each seedling was identified and marked with a colored pin, and seedling length was measured with a ruler to the nearest 0.1 cm. Each tube was checked for burning. Thatch level was visually recorded into categories by percent cover (and depth for level 4)
