Soil Water Nitrate 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Nitrate concentration of soil water samples collected from lysimeters buried at 1.2m under extreme and control rainout shelters over the study period./p>

This datatable is part of the Nitrogen Dynamics from Hess' Rainfall Intensification Study dataset.

This dataset contains results from L. Hess’ dissertation research on the effects of rainfall intensification on N leaching, soil inorganic N pools, soil N transformations, and crop N content in the MCSE Conventional (T1) and No-till (T2) treatments. Data supporting Hess et al. (2020).
