Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	This data package contains soil N data collected in May 1986 to survey N availability in a variety of grass and mesquite habitats at the Jornada Experimental Range (JER) during the early years of the Jornada LTER (I-II). The purpose of this study was to measure inorganic soil nitrogen in the context of shifting grasslands to mesquite dominated ecosystems. Sites include fluff grass (Dasyochloa pulchella), black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda), Sporobolus/Gutierrezia, playa mesquite, and arroyo mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). Soil samples collected on March 12-13, 1986 within the clumps of grass or beneath mesquite at each site, generally 20 cm deep or to the hard pan (whichever came first). Inorganic nitrogen leaching was measured for 28 weeks for each sample. This study is complete.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

To survey inorganic nitrogen concentrations of soils associated with mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and several grass habitats, 10 sites were established at the Jornada Basin in 1986. Sites include USDA Mesquite Dunes (MD_USDA), USDA Between Dunes (BD_USDA), IBP Grama Grassland (GG_IBP), USDA Grama Grassland (GG_USDA), LTER Arroyo Mesquite (AM_LTER), LTER Fluff Grass (FG_LTER), LTER Grama Grassland (GG_LTER), LTER Playa Mesquite (GG_LTER), USDA Sporobolus/ Gutierrezia (SG_USDA), USDA Mesquite Grassland (MG_USDA). Soil samples were collected to 20 cm or to hard pan, whichever came first. At FG_LTER, samples were collected on the lower grassland control transect from fluff grass clumps. At GG_LTER, GG_USDA, GG_IBP, samples were collected from the upper grassland control transect from black grama clumps. GG-USDA is classified as a grazed site, while GG_Ibp is classified as a grazing exclosure. At SG_USDA, samples were collected from sporobolus/Gutierrezia clumps. SG_USDA is dominated by these grasses though mesquite was observed to be increasing in this site. Mesquite samples were taken from AM-LTER and PM_LTER, which had few to no detectable hardpans. Nitrogen mineralization of soils was measured for up 28 weeks following Stanford and Smith, 1972, Nitrogen Mineralization Potentials of Soils. Briefly, an incubation procedure was utilized to describe the relationship between cumulative N and incubation periods. Incubation continued for 28 weeks at 350 C, where mineralized nitrogen was removed by leaching with 0.01 M CaCI2 at 0, 1 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28-week intervals. The N value was then estimated from the cumulative amounts of nitrogen mineralized under these conditions. This data set contains the week of analysis, sample number, site, and inorganic nitrogen (mg-N/kg-dry soil).
