Hakalau Forest NWR soil carbon and nitrogen data

This data release includes data and metadata on soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in sites where litter was experimentally manipulated. All sites were within Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge on Hawaii Island. Broadly, this study looked at the ability to alter soil nitrogen cycling, exotic grass biomass and native outplant survival with large quantities of Metrosideros polymorpha litter in a forest dominated by Acacia koa.
