SSHCZO -- Vegetation -- Shale Hills, Garner Run (Sandstone Forested) -- (2015-2015)

We measured the root collar diameter and species of all shrubs present in sub-plots along the established vegetation transects at Shale Hills and Garner Run watersheds. Sub-plots were placed every 10 and 20 meters at Shale Hills and Garner Run, respectively. Each sub-plot was 2 m by 2 m square, centered on the tape. All stems between 0.1 cm and 10 cm at root collar diameter were measured using a caliper and identified by species. Species were coded by Latin name, with the first two letters of the genus and first two letters of the species.

本研究于Shale Hills和Garner Run流域的植被样带沿线子区域，对全部灌木的根颈直径及物种进行了测量。在Shale Hills和Garner Run，子区域分别以10米和20米的间隔设置。每个子区域为2米乘2米的正方形，以测量带为中心。使用卡尺对所有根颈直径在0.1厘米至10厘米之间的茎进行了测量，并按物种进行了鉴定。物种以拉丁学名编码， genus 的前两个字母和 species 的前两个字母作为代码。
