ARCSS056
Summary
Soil survey information from plots along the Dempster Highway in Yukon Territory, Canada, includes soil consistency, soil texture, soil moisture, pedon information, flooding information (frequency and duration), erosion, runoff, soil temperature, precipitation, bedrock, major land resource areas, horizon data (thickness, soil pores, rock fragments, roots, soil surface feature, effervescence), mineralogy, and oxalate data elements collected in the field and the lab.
An attached SAS program is included with each data file for importing data to SAS statistical software.
