2019 Litter Bag Experiment UKiel Temperature data

In 2018/19 three different potential soil amendments (faba bean straw, winter wheat straw and spruce sawdust) grinded to 1-5 mm have been buried in nylon tea bags 10 cm deep in 20L pots. The soil used was extracted shortly before from a nearby field under agricultural use (1 month after harvest of faba beans). The bags were buried on 2018-08-17 and retrieved on 6 occasions until 2019-03-07. After cleaning and drying, dry matter of the remaining amendment in the bag was determined. Temperature was logged inside a pot, inside the facility (concrete soil) and outside in a tree (grassy soil).
