Soil and plant-based ecosystem functions dataset of three land-use types in northwestern Virginia.

ABSTRACT: Variables that quantify nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, including aboveground and belowground biomass, litter biomass, inorganic nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺ and NO₃ ^-), and soil CO₂ efflux were measured in situ. From measured variables, seasonal litter inputs and nitrogen mineralization were also estimated. Data were collected over the course of one to two growing seasons (2017 and 2018) across three different land-use types under variable human management: an agricultural field (cultivating millet for the duration of the first growing season of the study and left fallow for the duration of the second growing season), a restored native C₄ tallgrass prairie, and an approximately 16-year-old successional field.
