In 2003-04 70mm soil cores were collected from locations with a range of vegetation types at Heard Island. The cores were collected at 112 sites with 3 to 4 samples per site and 431 samples in total. This file contains two spreadsheets: site descriptions and abundance of springtail species at the sites. Processing of the samples was carried out as part of Australian Antarctic Science (AAS) Project 4024 and this work is currently being written up.
