Statement

Data collection:

During the early part of the field season in December 2005 - March 2006 we set up a regular sampling regime of the four major soil types found on Signy: Bare soil at higher elevations, namely Observation Bluff, Factory Bluffs, Jane Col and lower parts of Spindrift Col; Soils from below mosses on the Backslope and on Moss Braes; Soils from below higher plant species at Bernsten point, Factory bluffs, Moss Braes and North Point; Orthinogenic soils from around penguin colonies at Gourlay peninsula, Spindrift rocks and North Point and Disturbed soil from around Signy Base itself. To quantify and identify soil N species over a full growth season, small volumes of soil were removed from each sampling site 5 times during the field season and extracted in the laboratory. At the same time, soil pore water was extracted using Rhizon soil water samplers. Soil temperature was monitored at sampling times and ambient air temperature was monitored at each site throughout the field season.
