Plant tissue P concentrations — 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Archived Plant samples were analyzed from their P concentration.
This datatable is part of the Phospohorus Balance in Long Term Agricultural Ecosystems dataset.
Phosphorus (P) budgets for cropping systems show whether there is a net surplus or deficit, which relates to the sustainability of production as well as the potential for P export, a major driver of eutrophication. We analyzed P inputs (fertilization and atmospheric deposition) and outputs (harvest and leaching losses) over seven years at the Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE)
