Soil carbon stock (0-15cm)

This data file contains a data frame called 'soil_fert1a' which contains soil carbon, various fertility parameters, LiDAR derived elevation, and mean vegetation greenness (from EVI across 28 years) for each of 57 soil samples collected from across Buck Island Ranch (Lake Placid, FL). The bulk-density corrected estimate of soil carbon stock is in the column called 'c_stock'. These values are based on a single sample from a hammer core taken to 15cm depth. Samples were oven-dried, weighed to assess bulk density, and analyzed for SOC/SON via EA at the University of Florida. Fertility parameters were assessed at the University of Florida extension soil testing laboratory using the Mehlich III extraction. The first appearance of each parameter represents raw data on original scale, while the second appearance, denoted by _std label, represents value after standardization onto a N(0,0.5) scale.
