Soil Moisture on the Main Cropping System Experiment at the Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI (1989 to 2019)

dataset
posted on 2023-11-30, 10:23 authored by G Robertson

Measurements of soil moisture began in 1989 for all treatments on the LTER main site and in 1993 on the successional and forest sites. Soil moisture is analyzed on the baseline soil samplings which are collected twice monthly or monthly during the growing season. The percent gravimetric moisture content is calculated on a dry weight basis. Other datasets from the baseline soil samplings include Inorganic nitrogen and Total N and Total C. original data source http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datasets/18
