Local Identifier:	edi.392.3
Title:	Calhoun Lines small mammal trapping transect data from UC Berkeley - Sagehen Creek Field Station, CA between 1950 and 1989
Abstract:	Database contains detailed records from a series of Calhoun Lines established in Sagehen Creek Basin, California. Thirteen lines were established and run, at various intervals, between 1950 and 1989. The database contains vegetation analysis, small mammal trapline data, habitat photos, trapline charts and graphs, aerial photos, and sketches of individual Calhoun lines. This database was created from photocopies of original records. In some cases, data was unreadable or illegible. It cannot be guaranteed that this is a complete record of all Calhoun line data at Sagehen Creek Field Station. Dataset and metadata is available under the Mammals section on the Sagehen data resources page. As part of the Sagehen Forest Project monitoring, this dataset was resampled in summer, 2011 and will be again in summer 2019.
