Data from: Multi-decadal grazing effects on soil organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations in a semiarid rangeland
A multi‑decadal grazing experiment was established in 1982 in the semiarid northern mixed‑grass prairie of the North American Great Plains using three grazing treatments: season‑long light stocking, season‑long heavy stocking, and non‑grazed exclosures. Soil samples were collected in 1993, 2003, and 2013 at depths of 0–5 cm, 5–15 cm, and 15–30 cm. Across all grazing treatments and depths, measured concentrations of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil nitrogen (N) declined between 1993 and 2013. An exception was higher N concentrations in the 0–5 cm depth under season‑long light grazing.The Data Dictionary file describes column names/variables, their data types, and units.
