Abstract:
An assessment of the soils and vegetation patterns of the Cape Roberts area was conducted to determine existing conditions as reference sites for later determination of environmental impacts from the proposed McMurdo Sound drilling project (Cape Roberts Project). Two 100 m^2 plots had soil samples taken from each plot and from the adjacent area to allow comparative chemical analysis of contamination.
Description:
The Ross Sea Region Soils database, run by Landcare Rsearch, New Zealand, stores information on soil site and soil pit horizon data from 35 years of soil studies by the investigators and their associates. There are >900 sites in the database but they are currently not sorted
