Persons interested in developing proposals to utilize these samples are requested to contact Paul Hanson to obtain general information and possible redirection to other staff investigators.
Additional small samples from green canopy leaves, leaf litter by species, bole sapwood and terminal branches are also available dried and ground.
Sample Set #TDE.1
- 1993 SOILS - Pretreatment

Only the central 49 locations per treatment plot are archived (i.e., rows 3 through 9 including the 7 centered positions).Year Collected: 1993
Next Scheduled Collection: February of 2005
Analyses: Planned analysis for C, N, and other elements planned for 2005 after 10+ years of experimental manipulation.Sample condition: Air dried samples. All samples have been prepared (i.e., homogenized) for analyses.
