This dataset links to the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) Core Research Data Table of Contents (DTOC). The DTOC contains links to 173 individual datasets, which may be queried from the DTOC page. FCE Core Research Data are long-term data sets that address FCE LTER objectives and hypotheses, and that are supported primarily by LTER funds. All data are provided with accompanying metadata. Metadata includes details about the data including how, when and by whom a particular set of data was collected, and information regarding the data format. The FCE practice of dataset versioning has been discontinued as of March 2013. All long-term data will have new data appended to the file and the accompanying metadata will be updated.
FCE data may be freely downloaded with as few restrictions as possible. Consultation or collaboration with the original investigators is strongly encouraged. Please keep the dataset originator informed of any plans to use the dataset, and include the dataset's proper citation and Digital Object Identifier (DOI) found under the 'How to cite these data' on the dataset's summary table.
