Macquarie Island Poa annua soil samples 2010-11: Springtail abundance and habitat
In 2010-11 70mm soil cores were collected from locations at Macquarie Island rich in the invasive plant Poa annua. The cores were collected at 22 sites, with 10 samples per site. Processing and identification of species was completed in 2016. This file contains three spreadsheets: site descriptions,...

| Summary: | In 2010-11 70mm soil cores were collected from locations at Macquarie Island rich in the invasive plant Poa annua. The cores were collected at 22 sites, with 10 samples per site. Processing and identification of species was completed in 2016. This file contains three spreadsheets: site descriptions, complete sample descriptions and abundance of springtail species at the sites. The work was carried as part of Australian Antarctic Science (AAS) Project 4024 and is currently being written up into several papers. The 'Quad veg' column gives the percentage vegetation cover in the one metre square quadrat. The 'sample veg' column gives the percentage vegetation cover in the 70mm soil core. The numbers in these columns are percentages and the letters are abbreviations for vegetation types: pa = Poa annua, cal = Callitriche sp., ttg = tall tussock grassland (Poa foliosa), sg = short grassland (range of species), colo = Colobanthus spp. In the 'rabbit presence' column 1 means there was evidence of rabbit presence in the quadrat and 0 means otherwise. |
