Dear Ecologgers, My name is Magda Garbowski and I am beginning a MS project at Colorado State University this fall to study restored vegetation responses to various precipitation regimes.
I am hoping to investigate how soil amendment during restoration affects soil moisture and possibly soil nitrogen availability at different depths. Does anyone have suggestions for how to test either or both of these soil characteristics (soil moisture and soil nitrogen availability)? From the bit of reading I have done, I am leaning towards installing TDR probes horizontally at different depths to measure soil moisture. Does anyone have any recommendations for probes and depths, or other methods all together? Furthermore, can anyone provide advice regarding equipment to log up to 300 probes? I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions and advice! Thank you! Magda Garbowski [email protected]
