Nematodes in canopy gradient sites at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory from 1997 to 1998

Soil nematodes were extracted from litter bags collected from canopy gradient sites as part of: Reynolds, Barbara F.. 2000. Effects of canopy herbivores on soil systems along an elevational gradient. Ph.D. Dissertation. Athens, GA: University of Georgia. These data represent total numbers of nematodes. Different trophic groups are not distinguished. Litter was a combination of red oak and red maple. Nematode counts are based on calculated dry weight of litter.

本数据集的线虫样本源自沿冠层梯度样地采集的凋落物袋，相关研究来源为：Reynolds, Barbara F. 2000年的博士学位论文《沿海拔梯度的冠层植食性动物对土壤系统的影响》（Effects of canopy herbivores on soil systems along an elevational gradient），该论文由佐治亚大学（University of Georgia）于佐治亚州雅典市完成。本数据集仅统计线虫总数量，未区分不同营养类群；所用凋落物为红栎与红枫的混合样本；线虫计数基于凋落物的推算干重。
