GIS35 GIS Coverages Defining Sample Locations for Belowground Datasets on Konza Prairie (1982-present)

Abstract: 

These data show the locations of research conducted at the below ground plots near Konza Headquarters. Record type 1 (GIS350) describes the 64 belowground plots receiving a variety of nutrient, burn, and mowing treatments. Data for BMS01, BMS02, and BNS01 are collected on these plots. Record type 6 (GIS355) describes the locations of the Micro-Rhizotrons. Two spatial datasets lie on the belowground plots, but are classified separately. These are the Lysimeters on belowground plots (GIS455) and Aboveground biomass on belowground plots (GIS505) datasets. GIS505 may be used alongside the BGPVC dataset, because it shares sample locations with PBB01.

These data are available to download as zipped shapefiles (.zip), compressed Google Earth KML layers (.kmz), and associated EML metadata (.xml).

Information relevant to the GIS data encoding

This dataset (GIS35) depicts research that is conducted at the below ground plots near Konza Headquarters. There are 64 belowground plots recieving a variety of nutrient, burn, and mowing treatments, for more details see GIS505. Record type 1 (GIS350) describes the sampling sites for datasets BGPVC01 and BGPVC02. Record type 6 (GIS355) describes the locations of the Micro-Rhizotrons. This is record type GIS350.Horizontal Coordinate System Name:NAD 1983 UTM Zone 14N
