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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

During 2013, nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates were measured at the GLBRC Intensive sites. Each main plot and microplot was measured 3 times (early growing season, mid-growing season, and post-harvest) using 28-day lab incubations at constant soil moisture and temperature. This table contains the change in soil nitrate (plus nitrite) and ammonium over the incubation period, which is used to calculate potential mineralization and nitrification rates.

This datatable is part of the GLBRC soil properties dataset. Soil measurements from GLBRC experiments.
