Summary

This dataset contains data collected within limestone cedar glades at Stones River National Battlefield (STRI) near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This dataset represents data collected at 150 quadrat locations (points) within 12 selected cedar glades and contains quantitative characterizations of the ground surface, measurements of depth to bedrock (soil depth), and calculations of canopy coverage based on digital photography. When combined with the hydrologic and soil chemical and microbiological datasets described in the summary section, this information can be used to evaluate relationships between abiotic stressors (such as extreme hydrologic conditions, extreme temperatures, or thin soils) and soil microbial indicators. This information [...]

Purpose

This dataset was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Tennessee Water Science Center (TNWSC) in partnership with the National Park Service staff at Stones River National Battlefield (STRI) for the purpose of characterizing a subset of limestone cedar glades present within STRI. This dataset contains data types which were only measured once over the course of a study which lasted from September of 2011 through December of 2013. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other spatial datasets generated by the same project, namely datasets representing monthly hydrologic observations (STRI_Glades_Soil_Water_Content_OD.shp, STRI_Glades_Soil_Water_Content_TDR.shp, and STRI_Glades_Soil_Water_Content_ALL.shp) and monthly analysis of soil samples collected (STRI_Glades_Soil_pH.shp, STRI_Glades_Soil_Nitrate.shp, STRI_Glades_Soil_Organic_Matter.shp, STRI_Glades_Soil_Respiration.shp). The attribute “Point_Code” should be used to join data from this file to data in monthly hydrologic and soil files.
