    Plant tissue characteristics of Miscanthus x giganteus

    Geospatial dataSampling locations were established, flagged, and recorded in June 2016, using a Trimble Geo7X global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver using the Trimble® VRS Now real-time kinematic (RTK) correction. Location accuracies were verified to within ±2 cm. Points were imported into a geodatabase using Esri ArcMap (Advanced license, Version 10.5) and projected using the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 17 North projection, with the 1983 North American datum (NAD83). Field investigators navigated to the flagged locations by visually locating them in the field or by using recreational grade GNSS receivers with the locations stored as waypoints.Plant tissue sampling and preparationMiscanthus x giganteus grows in clumps of bamboo-like canes. A single cane was cut at soil level from each of the five sample collection points in each circular plot, individually labelled, and brought to the lab for processing (Fig. 2). Each stem was measured from the cut at the base to the last leaf node, and the length was recorded. Green, fully expanded leaves were cut from each stem and leaves and stems from each plant were placed in separate paper bags and dried at 60 °C. The dry leaf and stem tissues were ground to pass a 1 mm screen (Wiley Mill Model 4, Thomas Scientific, Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA). Subsamples of the ground material were analyzed for total carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), acid-digested for the analysis of total macro- and micronutrients, and water-extracted for spectroscopic analysis and the characterization of the water extractable organic matter (WEOM) (Fig. 2).Fig. 2Images of field samples, and diagram of plant tissue processing. Center panel – flow chart outlining the procedures for plant tissue processing, the kinds of analyses performed, and the type of data generated. Upper left inset panel – ground level picture of Miscanthus x giganteus circular plots. Upper right inset panel – some plant samples on the day of collection.Full size imageTotal carbon and nitrogenDried and ground leaf and stem material (~4–6 mg) was analyzed for total C and N content by combustion (Vario EL III, Elementar Americas Inc., Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, USA). The instrument was calibrated using an aspartic acid standard (36.08% C ± 0.52% and 10.53% N ± 0.18%). Validation by inclusion of two aspartic acid samples as checks in each autosampler carousel (80 wells) resulted in a net positive bias of 1.44 and 1.68% for C and N, respectively. The mean C and N concentrations and standard deviations for the sample set are presented in Table 1.Table 1 Giant miscanthus composition including leaf (L) and stem (S) dry weight, length, and carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations (n = 165). Values are reported as means ± standard deviations.Full size tableMacro- and micronutrientsPlant tissue samples were analyzed for a suite of macro- and micronutrients including aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), boron (B), calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P), lead (Pb), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn) using Inductively Coupled Plasma with Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Samples (0.5 g) were digested using 10 mL of trace metal grade nitric acid (HNO3) in a microwave digestion system (Mars 6, CEM, Matthews, North Carolina, USA). During the digestion procedure (CEM Mars 6 Plant Material Method), the oven temperature was increased from room temperature to 200 °C in 15 minutes and held at 200 °C for 10 minutes. The pressure limit of the digestion vessels was set to 800 psi although it was not monitored during individual runs. Sample digestates were transferred quantitatively to centrifuge tubes, diluted to 50 mL with 2% HNO3 (prepared with lab grade deionized water), and centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 10 min (Sorvall ST8 centrifuge, Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, California, USA). The digestates were decanted into clean centrifuge tubes and analyzed using an iCAP 7400 ICP-OES Duo equipped with a Charge Injection Device detector (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, California, USA). An aliquot of digested sample was aspirated from the centrifuge tube using a CETAC ASX-520 autosampler (Teledyne CETAC Technologies, Omaha, Nebraska, USA) and passed through a concentric tube nebulizer. The resulting aerosol was then swept through the plasma using argon as the carrier gas with a flow rate of 0.5 L/min and a nebulizer gas flow rate of 0.7 L/min. Macro- and micronutrients were quantified by monitoring the emission wavelengths (Em λ) reported in Table 2.Table 2 Macro- and micronutrients measured, and emission wavelengths (Em λ) used to quantify them in the miscanthus leaves (L) and stems (S), the total number and percentage detected (n = 150 for leaves and 162 for stems), the mean detected concentration ± standard deviation, and the mean method detection limit (MDL) ± standard deviation.Full size tableCharacterization of the water extractable organic matter (WEOM)The WEOM of the giant miscanthus leaves and stems was isolated by extracting the plant material with deionized water at room temperature6. The water extractions were performed by mixing ~0.2 g of dry, ground leaves and stems with 100 mL of deionized water in 125 mL pre-washed brown Nalgene bottles. All brown Nalgene bottles used for these extractions were pre-washed by soaking them for 24 hours in a 10% hydrochloric acid solution followed by 24 hours in a 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and a thorough rinse with deionized water. The bottles containing the extraction solution were shaken on an orbital shaker at 180 rpm for 24 hours. The extract was vacuum filtered using 0.45 µm glass fibre filters (GF/F, Whatman) into pre-washed 60 mL brown Nalgene bottles. The filtered water extracts containing the WEOM were stored in the dark in a refrigerator (4 °C) until analysis by UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Samples were visually inspected just prior to analysis to ensure no colloids or precipitates had formed during storage. Samples that had become visually cloudy were re-filtered.On the day of analysis, the water extracts were removed from the refrigerator and allowed to warm up to room temperature. Chemical characteristics of the WEOM were assessed through the analysis of optical properties on an Aqualog spectrofluorometer (Horiba Scientific, New Jersey, USA) equipped with a 150 W continuous output Xenon arc lamp. Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) scans were acquired in a 1 cm quartz cuvette with excitation wavelengths (Ex λ) scanned using a double-grating monochrometer from 240 to 621 nm at 3 nm intervals. Emission wavelengths (Em λ) were scanned from 246 to 693 nm at 2 nm intervals and emission spectra were collected using a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) detector. All fluorescence spectra were acquired in sample over reference ratio mode to account for potential fluctuations and wavelength dependency of the excitation lamp output. Samples were corrected for the inner filter effect7 and each sample EEM underwent spectral subtraction with a deionized water blank to remove the effects due to Raman scattering. Rayleigh masking was applied to remove the signal intensities for both the first and second order Rayleigh lines. Instrument bias related to wavelength-dependent efficiencies of the specific instrument’s optical components (gratings, mirrors, etc.) was automatically corrected by the Aqualog software after each spectral acquisition. The fluorescence intensities were normalized to the area under the water Raman peak collected on each day of analysis and are expressed in Raman-normalized intensity units (RU). All sample EEM processing was performed with the Aqualog software (version 4.0.0.86).The optical data obtained from the EEM scans were used to calculate several indices representative of WEOM chemical composition (Table 3) including the absorbance at 254 nm (Abs254), the ratio of the absorbance at 254 to 365 nm (Abs254:365), the ratio of the absorbance at 280 to 465 nm (Abs280:465), the spectral slope ratio (SR), the fluorescence index (FI), the humification index (HIX), the biological index (BIX), and the freshness index (β:α). The SR was calculated as the ratio of two spectral slope regions of the absorbance spectra (275–295 and 350–400 nm)8. The FI was calculated as the ratio of the emission intensities at Em λ 470 and 520 nm, at an Ex λ of 370 nm9. The HIX was calculated by dividing the emission intensity in the 435–480 nm region by the sum of emission intensities in the 300–345 and 435–480 nm regions, at an Ex λ of 255 nm10. The BIX was calculated as the ratio of emission intensities at 380 and 430 nm, at an Ex λ of 310 nm11. The freshness index β:α was calculated as the emission intensity at 380 nm divided by the maximum emission intensity between 420 and 432 nm, at an Ex λ of 310 nm12. To further characterize the giant miscanthus WEOM, the fluorescence intensity at specific excitation-emission pairs was also identified. The fluorescence peaks identified here have previously been reported for surface water samples and water extracts13 and include peak A (Ex λ 260, Em λ 450), peak C (Ex λ 340, Em λ 440), peak M (Ex λ 300, Em λ 390), peak B (Ex λ 275, Em λ 310), and peak T (Ex λ 275, Em λ 340). A brief description of these optical indices is provided in Table 3.Table 3 Description of the optical indices calculated from the excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence scans and used to analyze the WEOM composition of giant miscanthus leaves and stems.Full size table More
