Above-ground data collected include relative percent cover, litter depth, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. Below-ground data collected include inorganic soil nutrients, total extractable soil nutrients, microbial biomass nutrients, microbial exo-enzyme activities, soil pH, soil conductivity, soil temperature, and soil respiration.
