Filename: 2017_NDSU CAP_All Sites.xlsm Short description: 2017 observational data B. Filename: 2018_NDSU CAP_All Sites.xlsm Short description: 2018 observational data -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Three experimental sites were chosen to represent geographic (north to south) and environmental (cold-dry to warm-wet) gradients within the Upper Midwestern portion of the U.S. Corn Belt. These sites (latitude and longitude) were Morris, MN (45.68, -95.80) in both 2017 and 2018; Waseca, MN (44.07, -93.52) in 2017; Rosemount, MN (44.71, -93.07) in 2018; and Ames, IA 6 (42.00, -93.73) in both 2017 and 2018. The sites chosen for the study differ for mean annual temperature and precipitation. Average annual air temperatures and total precipitation for these sites are: 5.8°C and 673 mm (Morris), 7.1°C and 908 mm (Waseca), 6.9°C and 887 mm (Rosemount), and 9.7°C and 910 mm (Ames). 2.
