Lysimeter data Rostock: Dry mass and counts of stems, leaves and ears, and internode lengths of spring barley in 2020

The dataset contains dry mass and counts of stems, leaves and ears as well as number and lengths of internodes of spring barley grown in lysimeters under varying redox conditions on three soil profiles from along a hill slope in Northern Germany in 2020. Research domain: Plant Nutrition Research question: Controlled drainage may affect element mobilization in soil, in particular phosphorus. Three soil profiles with redoximorphic features were selected from along a slight hill slope to establish three lysimeter monoliths. Water levels of the monoliths were adjusted to high and low water table to mimic closed and open drainage, respectively. After 15 weeks of varying redox conditions in the lysimeter monoliths, spring barley growth and plant nutritional status were determined. Spring barley shoots were harvested and straw (leaves, stems) and grain dry matter as well as element concentrations of plant parts were determined to gain information about plant element uptake as affected by varying redox conditions. Additionally, stems, leaves and ears of spring barley were counted per plant and internodal lengths were determined.
