Abstract:
Soil physical analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Mass-% of 8 grain size classes of fine earth < 2 mm from soil horizons of each soil profile per CSP. Grain sizes discriminate between sand, silt, and clay.
Design:
Samples were taken horizonwise from soil profiles: 1 sample per horizon. So that samples exist according to the soil profile description per CSP (field 60 in the soil profile description sheets)
Spatial extent:
The Gutianshan National Nature Reserve (NNR) is located in the western part of Zhejiang Province (29º8'18" – 29º17'29" N, 118º2'14" – 118º11'12" E, Fig. 1). The Gutianshan NNR has an area of approximately 81 km2. From 27 comparative study plots (CSPs) soil samples were taken horizonwise from 1 soil profile per CSP
Temporal extent:
Samples were collected 2008 and 2009. Lab analyses were carried from 2009 to 2011
