Baseline Soil Carbon and Nitrogen — 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
One hundred surface (0-10 cm) soil samples were collected in early spring 2008 at the KBS GLBRC Intensive site to map soil carbon and nitrogen before establishment of the Biofuel Cropping System Experiment and Switchgrass Nitrogen/Harvest Experiment. Samples were taken on a regular grid (20 × 100 meters) and sample coordinate locations were recorded with GPS.
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).
