SSHCZO -- Vegetation, Tree Growth & Physiology -- Shale Hills, Garner Run (Sandstone Forested) -- (2014-2014)

Raw field data collected in the Shale Hills catchment and Garner Run (Sandstone Forested) study area, including measures of vegetation, soil organic layer, and rock cover. Vegetation measurements include tree species and size, understory vegetation, and ground cover. Soil organic layer measurements include O horizon and coarse woody debris. Rock cover measurements include percent rock cover and size of rocks. Measurements were taken along transects parallel to the contour at Shale Hills. At Garner Run, measurements were taken along four transects 700 – 1400 m long that run parallel to the contour. Transect locations are as follows: Leading Ridge midslope, Tussey Ridge ridge top, Tussey Ridge midslope, Tussey Ridge valley bottom.

原始野外数据集系在页岩丘陵流域及加纳跑（砂岩森林区域）收集，其中包含植被、土壤有机层及岩石覆盖度等指标。植被测量包括树木种类及大小、林下层植被及地表覆盖物。土壤有机层测量涉及O层及粗木质残体。岩石覆盖度测量则包括岩石覆盖百分比及岩石尺寸。测量沿页岩丘陵等高线平行线路进行。在加纳跑，测量沿四条700-1400米长的等高线平行线路进行。线路位置如下：主脊中坡、图西岭脊顶、图西岭中坡、图西岭谷底。
