Abstract:

This data package contains soil nitrogen data for soils collected under, or near, mesquite at the Jornada Basin LTER site (LTER-I and II) in 1986. The purpose of this study was to analyze nitrogen concentration in soils associated with mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). The mesquite soils were sampled at 4 habitats - playa, coppice dune, arroyo, and grassland. An ecosystem dominated by the non-legume, Larrea tridentata, and lacking mesquite was included as a reference. Samples were taken from two depths (0-15cm, 15-30cm) for three beneath canopy positions (stem base, mid-canopy, and edge of canopy) and one non-vegetated interzone position for each shrub. Four shrubs were sampled at each site. The soils were analyzed for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), N03 nitrate, NH4 ammonium. The data set was collected on October 1, 1986 and this study is now complete.

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

To study nitrogen concentrations of soils associated with mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), 5 sites were established at the Jornada Basin in 1986. To compare across ecosystems, mesquite soil was sampled at four sites representing different mesquite habitats - playa, coppice dune, arroyo/wash, and grassland. An ecosystem dominated by the non-legume, Larrea tridentata, and lacking mesquite was also included as a reference.

Soils were sampled on October 1, 1986. The soil samples were augered from two depths (0-15cm, 15-30cm) from four canopy positions, (1) stem base, (2) mid-canopy, (3) outer edge-of-canopy, and (4) interzone-- one canopy distance (radius) away from the edge of the shrub canopy in an unvegetated interzone. Four shrubs were sampled at each habitat. Soil samples were air-dried in a glasshouse and ground to pass a 2-mm sieve. Total N was digested by Kjeldahl digestion block techniques (Bremner and Mulvaney, 1982). Digest NH4-N was analyzed using an automated salicylate procedure (Technicon Industrial Method No. 329-74W/B). Inorganic N (NH4-N and NO3 + NO2-N) was extracted with 2M KCl (Keeney and Nelson, 1982). Ammonium-N in the extracts was analyzed colorimetrically (indophenol blue) in an automated procedure (Technicon Industrial Method No. 154-71) and NO3 + NO2-N was measured by an automated Cd reduction colorimetric procedure (Technicon Industrial Method No. 100-70W/).

The data set includes the date of collection, habitat, replication, position, depth, and distance of sample, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (g/kg), NH4 (mg/kg), NO3 (mg/kg), and total inorganic N (mg/kg). This study was completed on October 1, 1986.
