Fine root biomass and N content data for Saddle, South of saddle, North of saddle, 1994.

Root production was estimated in dry, moist, and wet meadow communities on Niwot Ridge using a root-ingrowth core method. Columns of root-free soil were established on 1 June 1994 and were re-cored on 10 August and 23 September 1994 for measurement of fine root mass and nitrogen content.

本研究采用根生长芯法（root-ingrowth core method），对尼沃特岭的旱生、中生与湿生草甸群落的根系生产力进行了估算。研究于1994年6月1日布设无根土壤柱，并于1994年8月10日、9月23日两次复钻取样，以测定细根生物量与氮含量。
