GPS Coordinates of All LTER and GLBRC Features — Research Context
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
GPS coordinates for many LTER and GLBRC point features such as plot corners, sampling stations, lysimeters, etc.
This datatable is part of the KBS LTER Global Positioning System Data dataset.
The KBS LTER uses submeter accuracy GPS to record many locations such as plot corners, gas flux chamber, leaf litter trap locations, soil water samplers (lysimeter), etc.
