Soil physico chemical properties and abundance of fauna

Description

Soil physico-chemical properties and soil fauna of three sites in the Pampean plain (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Usage

data("soilandfauna")

Format

soilandfauna is a data frame with measurements of fifteen physical and chemical parameters and the abundance of forty-three soil fauna taxonomic units.

Details

Samples were taken on three different sites regarding the history use: A naturalized grassland (NG), a grazing field that changed to agriculture two years before the start of the samplings (CG), and a site of continuous intensive agriculture for at least 40 years (AG)
