Plant Community Resource Partitioning Experiment at the Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI

Dataset Abstract Results from a set of experimental subplots within selected crop and successional communities (see KBS 004) designed to determine how plants partition resources and whether crop-weed interactions vary in response to resource levels. Effects of N fertilizer on community production and partitioning at the species level determined by manipulating fertilizer inputs in the historically tilled early successional community and high chemical input CT and NT corn/soybean treatments. Competitive effects examined in the conventionally tilled (CT), no-till (NT), and poplar treatments by determining how crop density affects growth and nitrogen uptake in the presence and absence of competing weeds. original data source http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datasets/8
