Soil Characterization (Pit Samples) — GLBRC Marginal Land 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Physical, morphological, and chemical attributes of pit samples excavated to 1 meter at each of the GLBRC Marginal Land Experiment sites.
This datatable is part of the Soil Characterization of Marginal Land Experiment Sites dataset.
Pits were excavated to 1 meter to characterize the soil at the Marginal Land sites.
