SSHCZO -- Tree Growth & Physiology -- Root Distribution Data -- Shaver's Creek Watershed -- (2015-2015)

Root intersection count data at specified depths from six sites. Three from Garner Run (Ridge Top, Midslope, and Valley Floor) and Three from Shale Pits (Ridge Top, Midslope, and Valley Floor). When pits were dug at each of these locations, photographs of each transect were taken. Root intersections were then identified from these photos and counted in an effort to learn about root distribution at each site. ● Pits were dug at each location, photographs with scale taken at each site. ● From photographs root intersections identified, marked, and counted. ● Counted data divided according to depth. ● Root distribution found from count data can area of each sample. Date Range Comments: A one time sample when pits were dug.本数据集涵盖6个样地特定深度的根交叉计数数据，其中3个样地取自Garner Run流域（分别为山脊顶部、中坡与谷底），剩余3个样地来自Shale Pits区域（同样包含山脊顶部、中坡及谷底三类点位）。研究人员在各点位挖掘土坑后，对每条样带拍摄了影像资料。随后通过分析拍摄照片识别并计数根交叉数量，以揭示各点位的根系分布特征。 ● 于所有点位挖掘土坑，并在每个样地拍摄带有比例尺的照片； ● 从照片中识别、标记并计数根交叉数量； ● 按深度层级对计数所得数据进行分类统计； ● 基于计数数据得到的根系分布情况可与各采样样本的面积相关联。 采样时间说明：本次采样为一次性采样，仅在土坑挖掘当次完成。
