Abstract:
Soil temperature (in °C) was determined using a frequency domain sensor probe (WET-2 Sensor, Delta-T Devices, Cambridge, United Kingdom) on 1st August 2013. The device was inserted from the top 6 cm deep (length of the prongs) into the soil. The average of three measurements on the same day was calculated.
All data where measured in the main experiment plots of a large grassland biodiversity experiment (the Jena Experiment; see further details below). In the main experiment, 82 grassland plots of 20 x 20 m were established from a pool of 60 species belonging to four functional groups (grasses, legumes, tall and small herbs). In May 2002, varying numbers of plant species from this species pool were sown in the plots to create a gradient of plant species richness (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 60 species) and functional richness (1, 2, 3, or 4 functional groups). Plots were maintained by bi-annual weeding and mowing.

Comment:
This dataset is part of a collection of measurements on environmental conditions at the field site of the Jena Experiment. Data for other abiotic measurements, from other experiments (e.g. Main Experiment, Dominance Experiment; see details above), other years, or other methods quantifying related data might be available (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.865134).
