Abstract:

This dataset contains data for soil physical and chemical properties of gypsum and non-gypsum soils in the northern Chihuahuan and eastern Mojave Deserts. Data were obtained from 20 study sites total, 10 located on soils derived from gypsum parent material and 10 located on soils derived from non-gypsum parent materials. Sites were grouped into 10 pairs, in which every gypsum site was partnered with a non-gypsum site located in the same region. Apart from soil type, partnered-site characteristics (topography, climate, elevation, slope, aspect, and presence of biocrusts) were held relatively constant. Site info and characteristics data can be accessed at knb-lter-jrn.210616001. Soil physical properties included: percent gravel, percent < 2mm fraction, soil aggregate stability, and soil compaction. Soil chemical properties were: percent gypsum content, pH, EC, and soil soluble concentrations of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, and phosphorus. The resulting soil data was used to understand physical and chemical differences between gypsum and non-gypsum soils and to examine how biocrust community types and moss species abundance and composition were associated with the measured soil variables. This study and dataset are complete.

Description:

Study site characteristics

Study sites were chosen via a stratified random approach – stratified by geomorphology and located randomly within areas of known gypsum (n = 10) or non-gypsum (n=10) soils. Non-gypsum soils were primarily limestone (n = 7 out of 10 sites), with others containing mixed alluvium or residuum derived from dolomite, sandstone, siltstone, shale, quartzite, and traces of other igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Sites were grouped into 10 pairs so every gypsum site was paired with a non-gypsum partner site in the same region. 5 site pairs occurred in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, New Mexico, and 5 site pairs occurred in the eastern Mojave Desert, Nevada. Paired site characteristics (topography, climate, elevation, slope, aspect, and presence of biocrusts), except soil type, were held relatively constant. Coordinates (decimal degree), bearing, elevation, slope, and aspect were measured at the origin of the central transect for each site. Sites were located at least 50 m from roads, trails, or human-use areas (except for JER-G (~17 m away), as establishing full-length transects at this site, further from the road was not possible due to a change in environment. Site info and characteristics data can be accessed at knb-lter-jrn.210616001.

Description:

Field sampling design

To account for variations in soil outcrop size and topography of the sampling area of interest (AOI), study sites followed one of the following designs:

(1) When the AOI was > 50 m long/wide, three parallel transects (50 m long, 25 m apart) were established.

(2) When the AOI was > 50 m long, < 50 m wide, one transect (50 m long) was established.

(3) When the AOI was < 50 m long/wide, one transect (25 m long) was established.

Instrument(s):

50m-long measuring tapes

Description:

Soil sample collection

AOI Condition 1 and 2: samples (n = 10 samples, 1 composite per site) were collected every 5 m along the central transect (50 m long) of each study site. AOI Condition 3: samples (n = 5 samples, 1 composite per site) were collected every 5 m along the central transect (25 m long) of each study site. Samples were collected from the soil surface to 3 cm depth, using a 6 cm diameter metal soil corer. Total soil mass was determined in the field using Pesola ® Medio-Line Spring Scales. Soils were sieved (< 2 mm) and the mass of the < 2 mm fraction of the soil was determined. Gravel (soil fraction that did not pass through < 2 mm sieve) was discarded in the field at each study site. Soil gravel mass was calculated as the difference between soil total mass and < 2 mm fraction mass. Soil percent < 2 mm fraction and percent gravel were determined. Soils were air-dried prior to storage in Whirl-Pak® Sterile Sample Bags.

Methods for assessing soil aggregate stability

AOI Condition 1 and 2: soil stability tests (n = 10 aggregate soil stability assessment procedure; Herrick et al., 2001; Kemper and Rosenau, 1986) were performed every 5 m along the central transect (50 m long) of each study site. AOI Condition 3: soil stability tests (n = 5 aggregate soil stability assessment procedure) were performed every 5 m along the central transect (25 m long) of each study site.

Instrument(s):

Description:	Methods for assessing soil compaction AOI Condition 1 and 2: soil compaction (n = 10; pocket penetrometer) was measured every 5 m along the central transect (50 m long) of each study site.

Abstract:

The Jornada Basin Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program is part of a national network of long-term ecological research sites funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). The Jornada LTER program has been continuously funded since 1982 to develop general principles governing changes between grassland and shrubland ecosystems based on long-term data collected in the Chihuahuan Desert. We translate our findings to dryland ecosystems around the world, and forecast the dynamics of future ecosystem states in response to changing climate and land use.
