Abstract:

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all plots on Site B. Contents of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur as well as pH-values (in H2O and KCl) of depth increments per plot.

Design:

At the beginning, six depth increments were taken from systematic corings: Nine corings per plot were pooled to one sample per depth increment (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 cm). Sampling was then reduced to five depth increments (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-50 cm). Samples were air-dried, sieved < 2mm, grinded using a ball mill. Subsamples of 40 mg were used for measurements with an elemental analyzer (Vario EL III, Elementar, Hanau, Germany).

Spatial extent:

Experimental Site B 29°08'-29°11'N 117°90'-117°93'E

Temporal extent:

Samples were collected from 2010 to 2011. Lab analyses were carried out from 2010 to 2012.

Taxonomic extent:

No organisms

Measurement cirumstances:

Data analysis:

pH (KCl) is the maximum potential acidity under present soil conditions. pH (H2O) is the current acidity.
