Sample Collection Metadata for Soil Cores from the East River Watershed, Colorado collected in 2017

This data package contains sample collection metadata for soil cores from the East River Watershed in Colorado used in biogeochemical analyses by the Watershed Function SFA. Soil cores were collected seasonally during autumn, winter, snowmelt, and spring at a predominately montane meadow, high altitude field site. Information provided for each soil core sample assigned an International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) includes: sample name, IGSN, material, description, collection method, core depth, location, field program, collectors, and date. The full list of 53 IGSN's is listed in the Methods section. There is also a complete core sample list and metadata for the set of baseline data.本数据包包含采自科罗拉多州东河流域（East River Watershed）的土壤岩芯样品采集元数据，该数据集用于流域功能科学焦点区（Watershed Function SFA）开展的生物地球化学分析研究。研究团队在以山地草甸为主的高海拔野外台站，于秋季、冬季、融雪期及春季开展了季节性土壤岩芯采集工作。针对每个分配有国际地质样品编号（International Geo Sample Number, IGSN）的土壤岩芯样品，其所配套的元数据信息包括：样品名称、IGSN、样品材质、样品描述、采集方法、岩芯深度、采样点位、野外项目、采样人员及采样日期。共计53条IGSN的完整列表详见方法部分，本数据包同时提供了基线数据集对应的完整岩芯样品列表及元数据。
