camg: Calcium and magnesium content in soil samples

Description

This data set contains the calcium content measured in soil samples taken from the 0-20cm layer at 178 locations within a certain study area divided in three sub-areas. The elevation at each location was also recorded.

The first region is tipically flooded during the rain season and not used as an experimental area. The calcium levels would represent the natural content in the region. The second region has received fertilizers a while ago and is tipically occupied by rice fields. The third region has recieved fertilizers recently and is frequently used as an experimental area.

Usage
