SoilClim bait-lamina test

The experiment consisted of four blocks (A–D), each one containing one organic (BIODYN) and one conventional (CONMIN) field. Every field included three plots with different precipitation treatments: a partial rainout shelter (Roof - 2.5 m × 2.5 m, 1.3–1.7 m height) that reduced precipitation by 65%; a rainout shelter control (Roof Control), which did not reduce precipitation, but allowed knowing possible artefacts derived from the shelters; and an open field (Control) without a shelter. In total, there were 24 experimental plots (i.e., four replicated fields in two farming systems with three precipitation treatments each). The rainout-shelters were installed from mid-March 2017 (during wheat tillering stage) until June of that same year (shortly before wheat harvesting). Details on the design and installation of the rainout shelters are available in Kundel et al. (2018
