Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This data package contains soil nutrient measurements taken over a 12-week interval. The purpose of this study was to test if changing densities of soil microarthropods and nematodes results in changes in soil nitrogen availability. 110 fluff grass (Erioneuron pulchellum) plants were collected from the Jornada Basin College Ranch and transplanted into pots, which contained 5 replicates of each treatment. The 4 treatments include 1) control, 2) NEMACUR (to exclude nematodes), 3) chlordane (to exclude mites) and 4) NEMACUR + Chlordane. Each was sampled 5 times during a 12-week interval. Pots were watered weekly to maintain conditions at field capacity. Samples were taken from the rhizosphere and analyzed for NO3(-)- N, NH4(+)-N, Inorganic-N, microbial-N, % H20, % Organic matter, roots biomass, and nematodes density. This study was completed in 1987.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

One hundred and ten fluff grass plants were transplanted into pots, divided into 5 replicates of each of 4 treatments: 1) control, 2) NEMACUR (to exclude nematodes), 3)chlordane (to exclude mites) and 4) NEMACUR + Chlordane, with 5 sampling times (0,2,4,8,12 weeks), and transferred to a green house. Pots were watered weekly (6mm/week) to maintain them at field capacity. For each sampling time, rhizosphere soil was analyzed for NO3(-)- N, NH4(+)-N, Inorganic-N, microbial-N, % H20, % Organic matter, roots biomass, and nematodes density.

Microarthropods were extracted in modified Tullgren funnels into water, then counted and identified to species. After microarthropod extraction the soil was sieved through a 2-mm screen mesh and roots were collected. On subsamples for nematode extraction, roots were carefully separated by hand, then nematodes were extracted by a modified sugar flotation technique (Freckman et al. 1977). Remaining soil was sieved through a 2-mm screen mesh.
