Soil Bromide from Hess’ Rainfall Intensification Study — Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE)
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Change in bromide in soils under extreme and control rainout shelters over the study period.
This datatable is part of the Bromide Tracer Results from Hess’ Rainfall Intensification Study dataset.
This dataset contains the soil bromide tracer results from L. Hess’ dissertation research on the effects of rainfall intensification on water percolation in the MCSE Conventional (T1) and No-till (T2) treatments. Research manipulated rainfall intensity using rainout shelters producing extreme and control rainfall conditions. Data supporting Hess et al. (2018).
