Summary

Soil data were collected from catchments of USGS edge-of-field (EOF) monitoring sites in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) priority watersheds. As part of this release, soil data from 2016 through 2019 are provided from 14 sites spanning 5 Great Lake States (Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and New York). The data collected are from private farms representing a variety of agronomic systems, landscapes settings, soil types, and climate regimes. These data can be used to investigate relationships among microbial properties (e.g. soil microbial biomass, activity, diversity, and enzymes), general soil structure (e.g. bulk density, soil aggregate structure, soil water holding capacity, soil texture, and infiltration rates), soil [...]

Purpose

This publication provides soil data for EOF sites with concurrent water quality data. The purpose of this soil data is to support exploration of relationships among soil physical, chemical, and biological parameters and to identify linkages between water quality and soil health. These data will be used to evaluate linkages between cropland conservation actions, indicators of soil health, and water quality. This project supports Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) work on private lands to implement conservation efforts that promote soil productivity and improve downstream water quality.
