Column key

Column: Description

id: Unique ID for each soil sample collected from underneath or away from a treated or untreated tree
size: Describes the treatment of the tree, where treated is cut with fertilizer application and resprouted and untreated are trees left intact
size_loc: Combination of treatment of the tree and location of the soil core
location: Describes whether soil core was taken directly underneath the tree or 50 cm outside of the dripline
moisture: The percent soil moisture of each soil sample
basdiam: The basal diameter of each tree, averaged for those which have resprouted with multiple sprouts
ph: The soil pH
po: Phenol oxidase activity within the soil
per: Peroxidase activity within the soil
bg: Beta-glucosidase activity within the soil
ap: Phosphatase activity within the soil
lap: Leucine aminopeptidase activity within the soil
