Atmospheric nitrogen inputs, soil nitrogen cycling, and soil respiration across the greater Boston area

This dataverse repository contains data from May to November of 2014 at fifteen locations across Metropolitan Boston for (1) throughfall nitrogen, (2) fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions, (3) human population density, (4) land cover class, (5) ISA, (6) soil solution nitrogen and soil nitrogen cycling rates (mineralization and nitrification) and (7) soil respiration. Details of the methodology are provided in the following publications. Decina SM, PH Templer, LR Hutyra, CK Gately, P Rao. 2017.
