# Fungal mat transect mapping, High 15 in the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1994-1995

## Dataset

- **Database Code:** SP029

- **Title:** Fungal mat transect mapping, High 15 in the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1994-1995

- **Abstract:**

The main objective of this study was to determine if there were relationships between forest floor attributes such as the location of: (1) individual trees, (2) clusters of undergrowth vegetation, (3) coarse woody debris, (4) rocks and (5) topography and both soil characteristics and distribution patterns of ectomycorrhizal fungal mats. This date set includes mat, rock, wood, and moss distribution patterns (as presence or absence at each sampling node) as well as basic soil date taken at the same locations. The forest floor attributes were digitized using ArcInfo®.
