Title:

Nutrient Network (NutNet) basic sampling at the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER in summer 2019.

Abstract:

NutNet is a distributed ecological experiment with a sampling component and an experiment. The goal of this work was to conduct the NutNet sampling protocol at the GCE site. Comparisons can be made 1) within the GCE site, and 2) between GCE and other NutNet sites, most of which are terrestrial. More about Nutnet here: http://www.nutnet.umn.edu/.
