Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KBS014: Water Movement in Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) Landscapes

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) LTER/KBS014 (Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog): Measurements of water movement through and within two landscape transects of approximately 12% slope.

Description

Neutron probe access tubes to 1.5 m depth installed along a Kalamazoo soil series transect and along an Oshtemo series transect. Also time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes inserted horizontally into soil horizons above and below textural boundaries in 12 soil pits along these two transects.

The 1,000 ha W.K. Kellogg Biological Station has been administered by Michigan State University as a primary research facility since its 1929 deeding to the university by Kellogg. In its early years the Station was devoted to wildlife, forestry, and soil conservation research; during the past 20 years a research emphasis on ecology, production agronomy, and forest genetics has led to well-established and internationally recognized programs in each of these fields.

The mission of the Station, supported by 10 year-round resident faculty from several university departments, in addition to campus-based faculty and visiting scientists, puts a primary emphasis on maintaining an environment for interdisciplinary research in ecology, agriculture, and natural resources. KBS LTER research topics include ecological interactions underlying the productivity and environmental impact of production-level cropping systems; patterns, causes, and consequences of microbial, plant, and insect diversity in agricultural landscapes; gene transfer, community dynamics and biogeochemical fluxes.
