Patch occupancy sampling of invertebrates and salamanders from Coweeta Synoptic sampling sites located in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin, 2009 to 2012.

This research was conducted in Macon County, North Carolina, as part of the Coweeta LTER synoptic sampling program. In the summers of 2009-2012 we sampled and counted Tallaperla species, Elimia species, fish, and salamanders found in a 150meter stretch at the synoptic sites, a total of 44 sites. The 150meter stretch was divided into thirty 5meter plots that were sampled on three occasions each year of sampling; in 2009 all 44 sites were sample, in 2010 a subset of 8 sites were sampled, in 2011 a subset of 9 sites were sampled, and in 2012 a subset of 8 sites were sampled.

本研究于美国北卡罗来纳州梅肯县开展，作为Coweeta长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）同步采样计划的一部分。2009年至2012年夏季，我们对同步采样点内150米水段中的Tallaperla属（Tallaperla）物种、Elimia属（Elimia）物种、鱼类以及蝾螈进行了采样与计数，共计覆盖44个采样点。该150米水段被划分为30个5米样方，在每年采样季均开展3次采样；2009年对全部44个采样点完成采样，2010年采样子集为8个采样点，2011年为9个采样点，2012年为8个采样点。
