ATTRIBUTES
| Field | Name | Definition | Unit | Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plot | Plot | ||
| 2 | Treatment vegetation type | Indicates plot vegetation type | P=prairie, H=hay, B=bareground, C=corn | |
| 3 | Treatment | Treatments applied to plot | C=control/nothing added, T=treated/contaminants and nitrogen fertilizer applied | |
| 4 | Year | Field season in which the harvest occurred (YYYY) | ||
| 5 | SampleDate (YYYYMMDD) | Date on which the plot was harvested | ||
| 6 | HarvestType | Differentiates between a variety of harvest types | Whole Plot Harvest=Entire plot mowed with a sicklemower and biomass collected, StubbleHarvest=conducted after a whole plot harvest to determine amount of biomass left behind using hand clippers to harvest 2 strips in each plot, CornKernelEstimate=done differently in 2008 and 2009, Mow Rake=only done in 2007, sicklemower strip=only done in 2007 | |
| 7 | BiomassType | Indicates whether biomass was harvested from Aboveground or Belowground (roots) | ||
| 8 | Rep | If there were replicate samples or values taken (i.e. the two stubble strips) | dimensionless | |
| 9 | SampleAreaLengthEW_m | The length of the area harvested, measured from East to West ends of the plot | meter | |
| 10 | SampleAreaWidthNS_m | The width of the area harvested measured from the North to South ends of the plot | meter | |
| 11 | SampleArea_m^2 | The area harvested | squareMeter | |
| 12 | PercentMoisture | moisture of the sample determined by dividing the dry weight by the wet weight | dimensionless | |
| 13 | DryMass (g) | total mass of the sample after dried in drying room | gram | |
| 14 | Mass_g/m^2 | dry mass divided by the area harvested | gramsPerSquareMeter | |
| 15 | Mass_UStons/acre | mass converted to US tons/acre (Mass_g/m^2 x 0.000001102/0.000247) | tonsPerAcre | |
| 16 | Mass_Mg/ha | mass in Megagrams per hectare (Mass_g/m^2 x 0.000001/0.0001) | megagramsPerHectare | |
| 17 | Shelled Bushels/acre equivalent | mass in the equivalent to shelled bushels/acre (Mass_g/m^2 x 0.002205)/56/0.000247) | shelledBushelsPerAcre | |
| 18 | Notes | Comments about the data or collection procedures |
