Summary

These data were compiled to understand the responses of dryland ecosystem properties to long-term simulated atmospheric nitrogen deposition. Objective(s) of our study were to uncover any changes in soil biogeochemistry and ecosystem properties to long-term nitrogen amendments. These data represent ecosystem property data compiled over the nine-year history of a nitrogen deposition simulation experiment. These data were collected from three sites representing a gradient of soil texture in Arches National Park. Data collection began in 2013 and continued through 2019, though metrics were collected at a range of intervals within that timeframe. These data were collected by U.S. Geological Survey field technicians using a wide range of [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to monitor if and how dryland ecosystem properties respond to simulated atmospheric nitrogen deposition. These data were created to understand dryland biogeochemical responses to atmospheric nitrogen deposition in remote regions. These data could be used to strengthen and inform our understanding of the long-term consequences of realistic atmospheric nitrogen depositional inputs in dryland ecosystems.
