Soil carbon concentration (0-5cm)

This data file contains a data frame called 'soil_fert2a' which contains soil carbon concentration in the 0-5cm depth fraction, 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 soil carbon concentration is in column called ‘C_05’. These values are based on a composite sample from 12 subsamples representing the top 5 cm fraction at each sampled point. Samples were oven-dried 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.
