Field Trip Sites: (Field Report due next Wednesday?) Tuesday:Upland = Site A Lowland = Site B Report: Introduction (briefly summarize methods used), Results (include N data in kg/ha, soil series and map accuracy, productivity, land use) Soils: think about productivity, appropriate uses, inappropriate uses, sensitive areas, water quality…. Microclimate: any effects with land use changes?

Bulk Density Calculations: Bulk Density = dry soil mass/volume Mineral Soil: core volume of 2 rings = 137.4 cm 3 (π r 2 h=vol) Organic horizons: average depth of 4 measurments x 18 cm x 11.5 cm (area of book) = volume bulk density = dry weight / volume

Soils and Microclimate Report ~ 2 pages Include: Introduction with brief review of methods Paragraph about soils found on site vs. soils map Calculate TOTAL SOIL N Content for the 2 soils of your lab day Be sure to briefly show your calculations! Paragraph on productivity of the 2 soils (be sure to consider the N content as well as other factors) (You will use some other N data later in the water module)
