MeadowNameX.jpg \Data\GIS\Additional_Photos\MeadowNameX Additional JPG files containing photographs of meadows. The geodatabase has room for 5 internally linked files. When additional relevant photographs were available for a meadow they were stored in this folder under their respective meadow name. (MeadowName = name of meadow, and X = number)
MeadowNameX.jpg \Data\GIS\Linked_Photos 118 JPG files containing aerial and ground level photos of the specified meadow. These images are accessible via links in the geodatabase. (MeadowName = name of meadow, and X = number)
Aerial_cover.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing aerial cover estimated for all species using cover classes. This is field data used to assign vegetation types to the "Meadow_Community" polygons.
Basal_cover.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing basal cover estimated for all species using cover classes. This is field data used to assign vegetation types to the "Meadow_Community" polygons.
Cross_sections.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing cross sections surveyed above, below, and in each meadow.
Long_profile.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing detailed imformation about the streams slope, shape, length, depth, bank condition, and more.
Species_cover.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing plot species cover for all species using cover classes. This is field data used to assign vegetation types to the "Meadow_Community" polygons.
Species_list.csv \Data\Tabular Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing translation of species codes used.
MeadowName sprX.jpg \Supplements JPG files containing scanned versions of the original spring datasheets for each respective meadow in which springs were documented. Because not all notes available were transcribed into the geodatabase the original worksheets are available. All the files are available via geodatabase links. (MeadowName = name of meadow, and X = number)
