x.coord:

x coordinate (cm)

y.coord:

y coordinate (cm)

Nitrate nitrogen (mg/Kg)

Total.N:

Total nitrogen (mg/Kg)

NH4.N:

Ammonium nitrogen (mg/Kg)

Source

The data were collected by Wolfgang Falk, Soil Physics Group, University of Bayreuth, Germany. This data set was previously published in the "RandomFields" R package.

Details

For technical reasons some of the data were obtained as differences of two measurements (which are not available anymore). Therefore, some of the data have negative values.
