Document Description
This 2-year study will quantify the GHG fluxes and biogeochemical parameters from adjacent Delta corn fields on pet soils with different winter water management strategies. The goals of this field sampling plan are to 1) provide a comparison of GHG fluxes from flooded and non-flooded Delta corn fields over the course of the flooded season and compare this to fluxes during the summer, 2) characterize and compare the biogeochemical conditions in the soils and flooding water associated with GHG flux, and 3) compare shallow soil characteristics during flooding and non-flooding seasons and between flooded and non-flooded corn fields in order to determine how flooding management may impact long term soil characteristics and GHG emissions.
