Soil moisture measurements taken at Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, 2008-2009
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/00737
Abstract:
Soil moisture measurements taken at various sites on Signy Island during the 2008-2009 field season. These measurements were used as part of an investigation to understand the effect of temperature and moisture on the availability of different nitrogen forms.
