Scope and content

Includes the following data sets:

  • 084996.CSV [whole-rock elemental analyses for < 2 mm fractions of C horizon of Kenneth Creek (KC) ( = “Bowron”) reference pedon; also includes data for C horizon of Holy Cross (HC) pedon related to E.P. 886.15 documented in https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/pubs/Docs/Tr/Tr020.htm ]
  • 99-479ps.xls [particle size analysis (pipette method) data for plot composites of 1999 mineral soil samples by 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm depths]
  • Kenneth Creek Db (1999).xls [bulk density data for 2 sampling locations per subplot = 8 per plot; cores collected at 10-14 cm (U) and 30-34 cm (L) depths]
  • EP886.13 (Kenneth Ck) Db data.xls [provides additional detail on fine fraction and total bulk density along with plot and treatment means]
  • Kenneth Creek pedon Db (2005).xls [bulk density data collected from the same pit where the “Bowron” pedon was sampled for Arocena and Sanborn (1999)]

The 1996 chemical data for forest floor and mineral soil (0-15 cm) are in:

  • D96MIN1.xls
  • D96MIN2.xls
  • D96FOR1.xls
  • D96FOR2.xls
    [In the “Installation” column, 1 = Sheridan Creek and 2 = Kenneth Creek.]

Consolidated versions of the 1996 data:

  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Chemistry (1996).xls
  • EP886.13 Forest Floor Chemistry (1996).xls

The forest floor mass / area data are given in:

  • Kenneth Creek 1999 Forest Floor Mass.xls
  • Kenneth Creek 2005 forest floor mass.xls

Comparison of the 1999 and 2005 forest floor mass data is given by:

  • Kenneth Creek 1999-2005 Forest Floor Mass Comparison.xls

The original laboratory data reports for 1999 identified the samples only with a sequential lab sample number (1-72). The complete sample identifications showing the lab sample number, plot, and sub-plot are in 1999 Soil Sample Lists.xls. For the 2005 samples, the laboratory data reports contain the complete identifying information.

  • S370finl.xls [1999 mineral soil 0-20 cm]
  • S371finl.xls [1999 mineral soil 20-40 cm]
  • S375finl2.xls [1999 forest floor]
  • S821finl.xls [2005 mineral soil 0-20 cm]
  • S822finl.xls [2005 mineral soil 20-40 cm]
  • S824finl.xls [2005 forest floor]

More complete versions of the soil chemical data with plot and treatment means, including calculations of elemental mass / hectare by plot and treatment (for 1999 only), are given in:

  • EP886.13 Forest Floor Chemistry (1999).xls
  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Chemistry (1999) 0-20 cm.xls
  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Chemistry (1999) 20-40 cm.xls
  • EP886.13 Forest Floor Chemistry (2005).xls
  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Chemistry (2005) 0-20 cm.xls
  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Chemistry (2005) 20-40 cm.xls

Calculations of carbon mass by plot and treatment (1999 only) are given in:

  • EP886.13 Forest Floor Mass and Carbon Content (1999).xls
  • EP886.13 Mineral Soil Carbon Content and Mass(1999).xls

Nutrient pools (kg/ha) are summarized by treatment (1999 only) in:

  • Kenneth Creek Nutrient Pools Summary (1999).xls
