| Field Name | Caption | Description | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| CN | CN | ||
| gCperm2 | gCperm2 | mass of C, g/m2 | Ratio Units: g/m2 Precision: 0.01 |
| gdrysoilperm2 | gdrysoilperm2 | O or M horizon dry mass, g/m2 | Ratio Units: g/m2 Precision: 0.01 |
| gNperm2 | gNperm2 | mass of N, g/m2 | Ratio Units: g/m2 Precision: 0.01 |
| hor | hor | Soil Horizon; M=mineral O=Organic. See methods. M horizon is only the portion of the mineral horizon from the bottom of the O to 12 cm from surface; thus the depth of the M varies depending on the depth thickness of the O | Nominal |
| fert | fert | fertilization status. F=fertilized, C=control | Nominal |
| numsamples | numsamples | Number of samples averaged for the mean | Nominal |
| pctC | pctC | percent C in soil | Ratio Units: % Precision: 0.01 |
| pctN | pctN | percent N in soil | Ratio Units: % Precision: 0.01 |
