Abstract:

This data package contains data on nitrogen mineralization potential of the rhizosphere of fluffgrass (_Dasyochloa pulchella_) at the Jornada Basin CDCC in 1987. The study was conducted on twenty 6 x 6 meter plots. Five plots were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments: 1. Chlordane amendment (100ml Al per 10,000ml) to exclude microarthropods; 2. Sprinkler irrigation (6mm/week); 3. Sprinkler irrigation (6mm/week) + chlordane (same as first treatment); 4. Control. Three randomly located subsamples were taken from each plot and consisted of the fluff grass plant, a 10 cm in diameter and 15 cm deep soil core centered on each plant. Some samples were incubated for 0, 2, 4, or 8 weeks. This data set contains information on the incubation time, soil nitrate- NO3, soil ammonium- NH4, and soil water content for each subsample. This dataset was collected in May 1987 and is complete.

Description:

Twenty 6 x 6 m plots with a 3-meter buffer zone were established on the Jornada Basin CDRCC in 1986. Five plots each were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: (1) chlordane amendment (100ml Al (Active Ingredients) per 10,000 ml) to exclude microarthropods, (2) water (irrigation 6 mm per week), (3) water (6 mm per week) plus chlordane amendment (100 ml Al per 10,000 ml) and (4) control, no treatment. In May, randomly selected fluffgrass (_Dasyochloa pulchella_) rhizospheres from each plot were selected for nitrogen mineralization analysis.

Net mineralizable N was estimated using batch incubation procedures for 0, 2, 4, and 8-week incubation periods. Soil subsamples (25g) were incubated at 35 C in 50-mL plastic vials covered with 0.0125 mm polyethylene film and seal with rubber bands to reduce moisture loss. Moisture content was adjusted to 10% water content by weight at weekly intervals by injecting deionized water through a small hole in the film with a syringe. Subsamples were removed for inorganic N (NH4-N and NO3 +NO2-N) determination following 2, 4, and 8-week incubation periods. Inorganic N was extracted by placing 10 g of soil into polyethylene bottles containing 100 ml of 2.0 Molar KCL + PMA (to prevent growth by bacteria and fungi). Samples were shaken 30 times, set for 24 hours, and then filtered. NH4 -N was measured by an automated salicylate procedure (Wall and Gehrke, 1975) an NO3 + NO2-N by an automated cadmium reduction procedure (Henriksen and Selmer-Olsen 1970). Net N mineralization was calculated at the net change in N occurring from the beginning to the end of each incubation.

Gravimetric soil moisture was determined for all the samples used for inorganic N and nitrogen mineralization potential. Ten grams of well-mixed soil from each sample were oven-dried for 48 hours at 105 C, and reweighed.
