Soil pH — GLBRC Switchgrass Nitrogen Rate 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use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 pH of surface cores (0-25 cm) from the Switchgrass Nitrogen Rate Experiment taken periodically to evaluate the need for liming. Analytical samples are prepared from field moist soil samples, sometimes in duplicate resulting in two pH measurements per sample.

This datatable is part of the Switchgrass Nitrogen Rate Experiment dataset.

This dataset contains data from the Switchgrass Nitrogen Rate Experiment (formerly Nitrogen/Harvest) at the KBS GLBRC Intensive Field Site. Switchgrass is grown under 8 rates of nitrogen fertilization (F1-F8; 0-196 kg N/ha) with each treatment plot replicated in four blocks (R1-R4). From 2010–2012, the experiment also included split plots with two harvest strategies (H1, H2; 1 vs 2 harvests/yr) for each nitrogen treatment; from 2013 onward all split plots are harvested only once in the fall, with yields measured separately 2013-2022 and combined starting in 2023.
