The invertebrate community structure with relation to soil moisture, salinity, and chlorophyll-a was determined. The study took place on 28 November 1997 and 31 December 1997 in the Von Guerard Stream/Harnish Creek network. Sample ID's are coded so that the first number indicates which transect, and the second number indicates the distance (m) away from the stream along the transect. ground condition This file was created by Pilar Tillberg on 11 May 2001, using raw data from the Excel workbook '9711rsso.raw'. The file format was suggested by the LTER data manager, to conform with the relational database structure. [PT 11 May 2001]. As needed Von Guerard Stream at F21. Id: uvg_f21.This was an ill-fated upstream gage on Von Guerard, 2.5 kilometers upstream from F6.  It was installed during the lowest season of record (00-01) and then promptly destroyed during the 01-02 season.  It's parts were stripped and it never generated a hydrology database, but was certainly sampled. 163.301254272461 163.301254272461 -77.626380920410 -77.626380920410 0m 0m meter Transect by Von Guerard Stream at Upper Site Moss Site M-05 Transect 5 Points T051 and T052 mark the start and end of the transect.

Virginia Role: associated researcher Name: Inigo San Gil Role: data manager Not Applicable Not Applicable Field and/or Lab Methods Approximately 1500g of soil or sediment were collected into Whirl-Pak(tm) bags with clean plastic scoops from 5 sections (0, 8, 16, 24, and 32 m away from the stream) along each transect. Five grams of sediment/soil were also collected from the top 1 cm for measurement of chlorophyll-a concentrations. Samples were mixed within the bags, placed into insulated coolers, and transported for analysis to the McMurdo laboratories. The soils were processed within 24 days of collection from the field. Until then, the soils were stored in a 4_C refrigerator. On return to the laboratory (within 8 hours of sampling), the soils were stored at 5C until further processing. In the laboratory, soil samples were handled in a laminar flow hood to prevent contamination. The Whirlpak bags of soil were mixed thoroughly prior to opening . A sub-sample of approximately 50g was removed and placed in a pre-weighed aluminum soil can, and weighed on a balance accurate to 0.01g. This sample was dried at 105C for 24 hours. The sample was removed, placed in a desiccator to cool down, and re-weighed. These data were used to calculate water content of the soil.
