In addition to the 1-meter soil pit, soil subsite samples are taken from nine locations across the 1-hectare monitoring plot from three depths (0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm). Each of the nine subsites are selected to represent the variation in micro habitats across the monitoring plot. Collected following the standardised Ecosystem Surveillance methodology, the dataset includes over 33,600 soil subsite samples archived in the TERN Australia Soil and Herbarium Collection, located at the University of Adelaide's Waite Campus. Each record includes detailed metadata such as voucher barcode for soil collected from the three depths at each of the nine subsites, site and visit information and sampling details. Soil subsite samples are accessible and available for loan upon request through the EcoPlots Samples portal via an Expression of Interest. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[112.675233, -44.21371], [154.335184, -44.21371], [154.335184, -10.0], [112.675233, -10.0], [112.675233, -44.21371]]]} 112.675233 154.335184 -44.21371 -10.0 Soil Metagenomic Sample Soil Subsite Sample TERN Ecosystem Surveillance AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual documentDigital Related documentation HTML AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual documentDigital Method documentation HTML TERN EcoPlots Portal: Soil Subsite Sample documentDigital HTML AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual documentDigital Related documentation HTML AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual documentDigital Method documentation HTML ro-crate-metadata.json documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital PNG
