_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     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.
