Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME): Soil Temperature Data from the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, NM

The Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME) is to understand
changes in ecosystem structure and function of a semiarid grassland
caused by increased precipitation variability, which alters the
pulses of soil moisture that drive primary productivity, community
composition, and ecosystem functioning. The overarching hypothesis
being tested is that changes in event size and variability will
alter grassland productivity, ecosystem processes, and plant
community dynamics. These data are soil temperature data collected
at two depths.

季风降雨调控实验（Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment，MRME）旨在探究降水变率增加对半干旱草原生态系统结构与功能的影响——降水变率的改变会调控驱动初级生产力、群落组成及生态系统功能的土壤水分脉冲过程。本实验当前验证的核心假说为：降雨事件的规模与变率变化将改变草原生产力、生态系统过程及植物群落动态。本数据集包含两个采集深度的土壤温度数据。
