The amount of nitrogen in the biotic and abiotic systems at Cape Bird measured from evaporated water samples and wind blown inputs
Entry ID: K052_1982_1983_NZ_2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The amount of nitrogen in the biotic (flora and fauna) and abiotic (soils, ice and snow) systems at Cape Bird was determined by taking water from melt streams, snow or ice, acidifying and evaporating down to 50mls samples. About 10L of water was evaporated per day and the 50 samples created per day (~1400 in total) were tested for total mineral N, NH4, NO3, NO2 and pH using the steam distillation ... View entire text
