Tarp impacts on soil temperature

These data show the impacts of tarps on soil temperature, and we present the raw continuous temperature measurements for 1 month during tarp application. We buried iButtons under 1 cm and 10 cm of soil in each plot to measure soil surface and soil temperature, respectively. Temperatures were automatically taken every 30 minutes, and specific time and dates of each soil or soil surface temperature measurement are given in the “Date_soil” and “Date_surface” columns, respectively. <br> For more information, please refer to Kinnebrew et al. 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1080/21683565.2022.2146254) or contact Dr. Kinnebrew at [e-mail]. <br> Column Names and Explanations: <br> 1. Farm: the farm site (“A,” “B” or “C”) where the plot was located. All farms were located in Chittenden County, Vermont, USA <br> 2. Treatment: indicates the treatment type (silage tarps, clear plastic tarps, or control) <br> 3. Plot_Replicate: the treatment replicate number on each farm (1-6 for each treatment on each farm) <br> 4. Plot_ID: the unique identifier for each spatial plot <br> 5. Temp_soil: temperature in Celsius measured 10 cm below the soil surface <br> 6. Temp_surface: temperature in Celsius measured at the soil surface (1 cm below the surface) <br> 7. Date_soil: date associated with the measurement of soil temperature <br> 8. Date_surface: date associated with the measurement of the soil surface temperature
