Dataset Results

Soil biota and chemistry data from the Elevational Transect (ET) experiment, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2020, ongoing)

Investigation of the effect of elevation and topography on soil biota and soil properties was part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project. The number of soil organisms (nematodes, rotifers and tardigrades), divided by species, sex and maturity was monitored at 3 elevations, initially in Taylor Valley (1993) then Garwood and Miers Valleys (2012) in order to accomplish this.
