Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/CDR006: Effects of NH4NO3 on Small Mammal Grids, Control (MAMML) at Cedar Creek Natural History Area

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

LTER/CDR006 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]:

The purpose of this experiment was to measure herbivore effects over a
large area that had not been manipulated rather than the 4 m x 4 m
treatment I plots in CDR004 and CDR005. None of the plots in this
experiment received any nutrients. Otherwise, the construction of
this experiment is identical to CDR004 and CDR005.

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 (CCNHA) 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.
