Manure decomposition — 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
20 grams wet manure (6 grams dry) was placed in the field to measure decomposition of an available food source. The samples were collected approximately 7 days later and the mass loss was measured.
This datatable is part of the Manure decomposition dataset.
This dataset is mostly about the data in
