Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network: Soil Properties, Royal National Park, Sydney Basin, NSW, Australia, 1991-2014

Abstract: The Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network Soil Properties data package for Royal National Park contains soil properties data obtained from samples taken within 10 cm of each of the floristics plots (see Keith, D (2017): Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network: Vegetation Floristics, Royal National Park, Sydney Basin, NSW, Australia, 1990-2014. Long Term Ecological Research Network, http://doi.org/10.25911/5c36e061dc7da).
