Summary:

The BOREAS TE-20 team collected several data sets for use in developing and testing models of forest ecosystem dynamics. This data set contains vector layers of soil maps that were received from Dr. Hugo Veldhuis, who did the original mapping in the field during 1994. The vector layers were converted to ARC/INFO EXPORT files. These data cover 1-kilometer diameters around each of the NSA tower sites, and another layer covers the NSA-MSA.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/TE/soilt20v/comp/TE20_NSA_Soils_Vector.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
