KBS066:Agronomic Soil Chemistry

Soil samples are typically collected in the fall and sent to an analytical laboratory for nutrient analysis and for fertilizer and liming recommendations for the following spring. Analyses include pH, cation exchange capacity, lime index, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, and boron.

KBS066-001 Agronomic Soil Chemistry

Soil chemistry of surface (0-25 cm) samples collected annually for MCSE Treatments 1-4 and 6 (since 1992), on a near annual basis for Treatments 5, 7 and 8, and less frequently for the unmanaged sites (TCF, TDF and TCF).

KBS066-002 Agronomic Soil Chemistry

Soil chemistry of surface (0-25 cm) samples occasionally collected from the nitrogen fertilized microplots (1F, 3F and 10F) of the Nitrogen Deposition Study located adjacent to the main plots of the MCSE Mid-successional (SF) and Coniferous (CF) and Deciduous (DF) forested sites. Note that the 0F nitrogen treatment refers to samples collected within the main plot, which is unfertilized.
