Platform data

Overview

Detailed view

Measurements were carried out by using a surface laser scintillometer (SLS) (Scintec SLS40, Scintec AG, Rottenburg). The SLS was installed two meters aboveground and with a propagation path length of 89 meters in relatively flat terrain covered the pasture grass Setaria sphacelata (average plant height of 0.53 meters). An automatic weather station was installed at the SLS receiver to measure net radiation, soil heat flux, air temperature, and relative humidity.

Sketch of the site: different plot colour indicates different plot management
Data tables: treatment codes (a) control, (b) second control, (c) simulation of grazing (2x per year), (d) simulation of grazing (5x per year), (e) high fertilization , (f) low fertilization, (g) simulation of grazing (2x per year) + high fertilization, (h) simulation of grazing (5x per year) + high fertilization

Within 1 year (2009-2010) grass samples were taken from the respective fertilizer treatments (X=control; N=urea (50kg N ha-1 a-1); P=rock phosphate (10kg P ha-1 a-1); NP (combination of urea and rock phosphate 50kg N+10kg P ha-1 a-1) in 6 replicates, respectively) at 6 time points at the FERPAST. Grass yield within growth period as well as respective biomass properties were determined.

Soil moisture retention characteristics, soil colour and bulk density sampled in microcatchment 1. Samples were mostly analysed in the ECSF laboratory.

Monitoring of woody species regeneration was done in 2003, 2005 and 2007 on 48 subplots of 116 m2 on pasture, fern, and shrub sites. 
Half of the subsamples were randomly selected and manually treated by cutting back all competing herbaceous species with a machete
every 4 months from 2003 to 2005. Competing species refers to dominant, exotic and aggressive species such as grasses (S.
sphacelata) in the Pasture site, and exotic fern (P. arachnoideum) in the Bracken and Shrub sites, woody native species were not removed.

The campbell meteorological station was used to monitor weather variables at the observation plot of the project B1 "The Threat of the Southern Bracken". Meteorological data was used as input in the Southern Bracken Competition Model.
