Foliar Chemistry Database :: INTRODUCTION
NERC Foliar Chemistry Database:
Welcome to the Foliar Chemistry Database of the
Northeastern Ecosystem Research Cooperative


This is a web based foliar chemistry database that includes foliar chemistry values for many of the major forest tree species in the northeastern U.S (and a few herbaceous species as well). The elements and compounds included in this database are: Ca, Al, Mg, Mn, P, K, Sr, nitrogen, lignin, cellulose, hydrogen, and carbon.


Look for specific data

Currently this database contains data for about thirty species and over 8000 individual samples from throughout the Northeast. The user can search for specific elements or compounds, specific location, project, elevation and/or specific species. The information matched in the query can be viewed on the screen or downloaded to your computer.

Contribute to the database

We are now able to incorporate additional data from other interested researchers. Please let us know if you have data that you would like to incorporate into this database by contacting folchemadmin@sr.unh.edu, or registering your project through the link on the homepage.
