  1. Nevada Desert Face Facility; ESS-DIVE

Samples collected in 1997 from center of each plot before CO2 treatment commenced. Samples were oven dried (60C) and total weight determined. Sample were fractionated using a 2mm sieve and weights of rock fraction (>= 2mm) and soil fraction (<2mm) determined. Soil fraction was further analyzed for particle size ([NDFF_Soil_Particle_Size.xls]).Soil fractions of samples collected at NDFF([NDFF_Soil_Texture.xls]) in 1997 before CO2 treatment commenced. Samples were processed through 62.5 um sieve to remove sand fraction then analysized for fine soil particle size on Micromeretics Saturn DigiSizer 5200.(see http://soilslab.dri.edu/instrument_dig.htm)
