Soil carbon content measurements dataset from 16 long-term research plots at the ASU Polytechnic Arboretum. As part of Cynthia Sagers's Biology 182 class, measurements are taken annually for ten years. These measurements occurred between February 16th and 17th, 2023. These data were collected as part of a general lab exercise with all 148 students participating. Only data from lab sections for which C. Sagers was present are included. Outlier values (>4.0%) were dropped when calculating the mean.
\n\nFunded by the ASU Sustainability Initiatives Revolving Fund (SIRF), which invests in projects that foster and enable sustainability efforts and provide an economic return on investment. This project seeks to beautify the botanical walk while working towards ASU’s sustainability and carbon neutrality goals.
