Rabbit Browse Total Nitrogen

Rabbit browse (clippings) were collected from 24 5x5m plots at
approximately 1 month intervals. Dry weight by date and plot
was recorded. Plant material collected was subsampled and
analyzed for Total N.
Plots are located along LTER-I Control and Treatment
transects in creosotebush (around station C62 and T61) and upper
basin slope (around station C48 and T46). (See site description.)

本研究以约每月1次的采样频率，从24块5米×5米的样地中采集兔类啃食植物剪样（clippings）。记录了各采样时间与对应样地的样品干重。所采集的植物材料经分样处理后，对其总氮（Total N）含量进行了检测分析。
样地沿LTER-I对照与处理样带布设，分布于杂酚灌丛（creosotebush）（C62、T61站点周边）以及流域上坡地带（C48、T46站点周边）区域。详见样地描述。
