Soil Bulk Density — GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment

Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Soil bulk density of surface (0-25 cm) and deep (to ~1 m) core samples from all BCSE treatments (G1-G10). Surface cores were taken in 2008-2009; deep cores are taken every 5-10 years, beginning in 2008, to primarily monitor for changes in carbon and nitrogen stocks.

This datatable is part of the GLBRC Soil Properties — Biofuel Cropping System Experiment dataset.

This dataset contains the chemical and physical properties of surface (0-25 cm) and deep (0-1 m) core soils of the GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment (BCSE).
