Biogeochemistry of C, N, and P in a Soil Catena of the Shortgrass Steppe
Abstract
Measurements of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content were carried out in the soils of a hillslope of shortgrass steppe. Plant biomass, soil morphology, and soil physical properties were also measured. Soil morphology indicated that the site had undergone several cycles of rapid erosion and deposition. Total mass of C, N, and P increased downslope, following a trend in soil depth, but the summit A horizon had higher C, N, and organic P concentrations than the backslope, reflecting a higher clay content. Laboratory and field incubations showed that N availability increased downslope, while relative N mineralization (N mineralized: total N) decreased. Organic matter content and mineralization rate were closely coupled to physical properties of the soil, which reflect the geomorphic history of the site.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
