Great Smoky Mountains National Park Stehn Plots: Overstory, Shrubs, Seedlings, Herbaceous plants, Bryophytes, Soil

This dataset results from systematic sampling on 60 randomly selected plots within the spruce-fir zone of GRSM. Researchers recorded the frequency and cover of 97 bryophyte species occurring on ground-layer substrates in spruce-fir forests, as well as tree density in mulitple strata, herbaceous layer composition and cover, and soil chemical properties. This database contains all raw data entered from paper datasheets, data acquired from GIS data layers, and data produced from post-field labwork such as tree core ring counts and soil chemical anaylses.
