Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/CDR004: Effects of NH4NO3 on Small Mammal Grids (MAMML) at Cedar Creek Natural History Area

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Cedar Creek Natural
History Area (CDR)

LTER/CDR004 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]:

The purpose of this experiment is to look at the effect of NH4NO3
addition in an unfenced area. The experiment is located in field E.

There are four different treatments, C, F, H, and I as defined in NUTRADD.DOC
in the "microplot" strategy. The plots are 4 m x 4 m and are laid out in an 8 x
8 grid with 1 m aisles.

Proprietary limits: Investigators have priority over data for
five years, but are interested in collaboration for novel comparisons before
then.

The Cedar Creek Natural History Area (CCHNA) is a 2200 hectare
experimental ecological reserve operated by the University of
Minnesota in cooperation with the Minnesota Academy of Sciences. CCNHA
is located in Anoka and Isanti Counties north of Minneapolis/St. Paul.
The site was established in 1940, was designated a National Natural
Landmark by the National Park Service in 1975. In 1977 it was included
as an Experimental Ecology Reserve in a proposed network, and in 1982
it was one of 11 sites in the U.S. selected by the National Science
Foundation for funding of LTER.
