BES-LTER Residential & Forest Soil Data #26

Open samzipper opened 6 years ago

samzipper commented 6 years ago

One-meter soil cores were taken to evaluate soil texture, bulk density, carbon and nitrogen pools, microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen content, microbial respiration, potential net nitrogen mineralization, potential net nitrification and inorganic nitrogen pools in 32 residential home lawns that differed by previous land use and age, but had similar soil types. These were compared to soils from 8 forested reference sites.

I think the script I added (hackathon/processData_BES-LTER.R) does everything necessary - but I certainly could be wrong.
