Anhydrobiosis Polygon at Hoare

Four contingent polygons were selected in a clockwise direction. The middle of the south facing crack was selected as the "0" point and soil samples were taken at 0, 0.2, 0.5, 2, and 5 m along a transect towards the middle of the polygon (in a south to north direction). This corresponds to the Hoare basin plot.
