| Field Name | Caption | Description | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| CN | CN | Measurement type: | |
| gCperm2 | gCperm2 | mass of C, g/m2 | Measurement type: Ratio Units: g/m2 Precision: 0.01 |
| gdrysoilperm2 | gdrysoilperm2 | O or M horizon dry mass, g/m2 | Measurement type: Ratio Units: g/m2 Precision: 0.01 |
| gNperm2 | gNperm2 | mass of N, g/m2 | Measurement type: 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 | Measurement type: Nominal |
| fert | fert | fertilization status. F=fertilized, C=control | Measurement type: Nominal |
| numsamples | numsamples | Number of samples averaged for the mean | Measurement type: Nominal |
| pctC | pctC | percent C in soil | Measurement type: Ratio Units: % Precision: 0.01 |
| pctN | pctN | percent N in soil | Measurement type: Ratio Units: % Precision: 0.01 |
| seCN | seCN | Measurement type: | |
| segCm2 | segCm2 | Measurement type: | |

| segNm2 | segNm2 | Measurement type: | |
| sepctC | sepctC | Measurement type: | |
| sepctN | sepctN | Measurement type: | |
| site | site | site number. There were two sites per species and watershed | Measurement type: Nominal |
| sp | sp | tree species; B=beech, M=sugar maple, Y=yellow birch, H=hemlock, O=red oak | Measurement type: Nominal |
| year | year | year sampled | Measurement type: DateTime Date/Time Format: YYYY |
