The Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) is a comprehensive, nationwide soil moisture and climate information system designed to provide data to support natural resource assessments and conservation activities. Administered by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through the National Water and Climate Center (NWCC), in cooperation with the NRCS National Soil Survey Center, the system focuses on agricultural areas of the U.S. monitoring soil temperature and soil moisture content at several depths, soil water level, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind, precipitation, barometric pressure, and more.

  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: The Soil Climate Analysis Network consists of automated remote sites which collect soil moisture and soil temperature data along with precipitation, wind, and solar radiation data. These sites are located throughout the United States and other global locations. This data is used for the management and prediction of climatic issues affecting our natural resources.

• Fence locations
  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: On Mansfield, drift fences located in the Browns River drainage. Two fences at 1200' (Proctor Maple Research Center) (1) in mixed northern hardwoods, (2) in hemlock stand; 2200' (off CCC road in Underhill State Park) in mixed northern hardwoods; and at 3200' (off Sunset Ridge Trail) in spruce and fir forest. No data collected in 2009.

• Monitoring sites
  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 2008-04-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: At Lye Brook, monitoring restarted with three drift fences located outside of the north and south ends of wilderness area used for monitoring: 860' fence near Lye Brook Falls Access area, 2400' and 2700' fence off Branch Pond Road

• Preparation and sampling
  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Drift fence bucket lids removed the day prior to anticipated heavy rain events, with samples collected after rain. Sampling done approximately 3 times per month, April through October.

• Length measurements
  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1994-04-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: At each drift fence, length measurements were taken only on the first three individuals from each size class and species. Total length of specimens measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the body or tail. Snout-to-vent length also measured as length from tip of snout to vent or cloacal opening.
