Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KBS015: Soil Moisture Changes in Crop and Early Successional Communities
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) LTER/KBS015 (Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog): Analyses of soil moisture in upper 15 cm and upper 50 cm of soil profile in each plot of the main cropping system experiment described in KBS004.
Description
Nondestructive measurements taken with replicate time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes installed semipermanently in each plot. Gravimetric samples taken monthly to 15 cm.
The 1,000 ha W.K. Kellogg Biological Station has been administered by Michigan State University as a primary research facility since its 1929 deeding to the university by Kellogg. In its early years the Station was devoted to wildlife, forestry, and soil conservation research; during the past 20 years a research emphasis on ecology, production agronomy, and forest genetics has led to well-established and internationally recognized programs in each of these fields.

The mission of the Station, supported by 10 year-round resident faculty from several university departments, in addition to campus-based faculty and visiting scientists, puts a primary emphasis on maintaining an environment for interdisciplinary research in ecology, agriculture, and natural resources. KBS LTER research topics include ecological interactions underlying the productivity and environmental impact of production-level cropping systems; patterns, causes, and consequences of microbial, plant, and insect diversity in agricultural landscapes; gene transfer, community dynamics and biogeochemical fluxes.
