Resolved: Temporary removal of foliar trace element data
December 15, 2020
In a previous post, we reported that we have recently removed sunlit plant foliage major, minor, and trace element data (DP1.10026.001, cfc_elements table) collected in 2017 and 2018 from the portal.
Upon investigation, the 2017-18 element data were deemed untrustworthy. In order to replace these spurious values, sample major, minor, and trace elements were re-measured using foliar material from the NEON Biorepository. Following review, these new data were posted to the Data Portal on 2020-10-29.
For questions about these foliar data and samples, please submit them to our Contact Us form. Please select DP1.10026.001 in the Data Product dropdown list and include the term "INC0033078" in the body of your request.
