ECOPICS_MX_Soil profile data at the pit level

     

ECOPICS   Project : Profile Soil Data 

 

Field   campaign Abril 2017 to March 2018

 

Last   modification : April 2022 by Beatriz E. Marín Castro and Christina D. Siebe

        

The   description of the profiles was made according to the description manual of

 

Siebe C.,   Jahn R. and K. Stahr. 2016. Manual para la descripción y evaluación ecológica   de suelos en el campo. Sociedad Mexicana de la Ciencia del Suelo A.C.

        

Raw   physicochemical data:

 

Contains   the soil data at the pit level

 

Units   of physicochemical properties :Ntot (%), MO (%), pH water, Phosphorus for   Bray-Kurtz, (mg/kg), CEC (cmol/kg),

 

Base   saturation estimade and determined in laboratory (%), Fe, Al and Si for   Oxides extracted with ammonium oxalate (mg/g)

 

These   data have to be correlated with the altitudinal gradient analysis.

 

The   pits, one per altitudinal level, samples were taken from different soil   horizons.
