PSU Cover Crop Cocktails Lysimeter Inorganic N Data
Abstract
Dataset is a cleaned/summarized version of data collected from 2013-2023 at the Pennsylvania State University Cover Crop Cocktails agricultural research site in State College, Pennsylvania for lysimeter inorganic nitrogen. Lysimeter samples are collected approximately biweekly or after significant rain events during cover crop growing season to monitor potential impacts of winter cover crops on nitrogen leaching potential from agricultural soils. Passive gravity flow was collected in mesh topped PVC bucket lysimeters with lid depth at 35 cm. Data include sampling timepoint information (date, year, month, day), sampling plot information (entry, block, plot, strip), cover crop treatment, and sample values (nitrate, ammonium, and total N in ppm and kg N/ha).
