I. SITE DESCRIPTORS
- Latitude/Longitude of data collection site
:
42.58 North degrees latitude
90.08 East degrees longitude
- Time zone: Central Standard Time
- Biome Description: forest
deciduous
Because we are located in a driftless area (no glacier activity), the
landscape has rolling hills. The sandy soil has many liestone and
sandstone ledges.
