Purpose
The data collected formed part of a larger study examining the carbon and nitrogen dynamics of the peri-urban forest system. 
Lineage
Sampling method: Five, 0.1-0.25 m2 litter traps were deployed across 2 x 2 ha areas of dry sclerophyll forest at the Samford Ecological Research Station, near Samford, Queensland. Litter was collected at roughly monthly intervals and dried at 65°C for 72 hours. Samples were then weighed, ground and analyzed for total carbon and total nitrogen content. 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Samford Peri-Urban site is located 20 km north-west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The vegetation within the site is classified as open Eucalypt and notophyll vine forest.
