Physical Characteristics and Stratigraphy of Deep Soil Sediments from Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE) from 2005 and 2006

These data represent the results of piston-coring deep (around 1m) soil cores from Shark Slough sites, including FCE LTER site SRS3 and FCE related site NE-SRS1 from November 18, 2005 to February 26, 2006. Soils from 1-cm depth increments were analyzed for bulk density and stratigraphy. These analyses contribute to a paleoecological study to quantify past changes in vegetation and soil accumulation in relation to past climate variation, fire occurrences and water management.
