Synthesis Version 1.5.0
Version Contents
This database contains tidal wetland soil carbon profiles and associated metadata. The data itself is housed in separate comma separated value (.csv) spreadsheets linked by common identifier attributes (study_id, site_id, and core_id).
Data Tables
- CCN_methods.csv - Contains information on materials and methods broken down by study
- CCN_sites.csv - Contains positional and descriptive information of the coring sites.
- CCN_cores.csv - Contains positional and descriptive information on core locations.
- CCN_depthseries.csv - Contains raw depth-series information for all cores.
- CCN_species.csv - Contains information on the dominant plant species at coring locations.
- CCN_impacts.csv - Contains information on the anthropogenic impacts at site or coring locations.
Metadata Tables
- CCN_database_structure.html - Is a simplified, visual and interactive version of metadata.xml for display purposes.
- CCN_study_citations.csv - Contains bibliographic information for publications and associated sources, which can be related to the database tables via study_id.
- CCN_bibliography.bib - Contains bibliographic information for publications and sources associated with this database.
