Notes:
FOR LIN: initiated in July 1993, using 12 sun-lit controlled-environment terracosm (see Tingey et al. 1996 for a detailed description of this facility). Each terracosm had a canopy volume of 3.18 m3 (2 m wide, 1.5 m tall at the back, 1.2 m tall at the front, 1 m front-to-back) and a soil lysimeter volume of 2.0 m3 (2 m wide, 1 m front-to-back, 1 m deep). FOR OLSZYK: The experiment was conducted in outdoor, sunlit cham- bers to allow manipulation of climatic and edaphic condi- tions while maintaining natural diurnal and seasonal climatic variability (Tingey et al. 1996; U.S. EPA 1993). Each cham- ber had a top enclosure witha2×1m surface area and was 1.5 m tall in the back sloping to 1.3 m in the front. The en- closure volume was ~2.8 m3, not including the volume of the associated air handler
Soilnotes:
The soil was a fine loam to loam texture with a medium granular structure and was classified as a coarse-loamy, mixed, frigid Typic Hapludand. At the beginning of the experiment, soil carbon content averaged at 2.38% forAHorizon and 2.07% for B Horizon.
