Description
In 2021 we moved soils from the long-term pH Experiment in Woodlands
Field at SRUC Craibstone, Aberdeen to create the pHoenix experiment. This is a partnership with Aberdeen University.
The original experiment included both a pH gradient (4.5–7.5) and a ley/arable crop rotation (3 years of grass/white clover, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), potatoes, spring barley, swedes and undersown spring oats).
The new experiment has a randomised design and contians topsoil from the original 56 plots of the experiment. Each plot of original soil is paired with a twin plot where amenedment of the pH began in 2021. The new experiment includes permanent grass (both a rygrass treatment and a mixed herbal ley), a ley/arable rotation and an all arable rotation.
This is an excellent platform for understanding relationships between plants and soil pH in relation to soil biology, carbon and nturient cycling amongst other disciplines
