Title	Myrold Oregon transect
Study Type	Other
Abstract	OTTER. The Oregon transect consists of sites that follow a gradient of net primary productivity from the highest productivity forests in the world (coastal Sitka spruce) to semi-arid juniper woodlands (Fig. 1). This gradient represents the range of net primary productivity found in North America (Ru .. [more]nyan et al., 1994). In addition to differences in productivity and vegetation composition, these sites also display a range of soil types. Extensive metadata are available for these sites (Gholz, 1982; Myrold et al., 1989; Runyan et al., 1994; Stark and Hart, 1997; daac.ornl.gov), but no information is available on the microbial communities of these soils. A total of 6 sites will be studied, with 3, 30-by-30 m plots established at each site to provide some information about within site variability, which will result in 18 samples for analysis. [less]
