Survey Description
In May and June 1991, vegetation samples were collected from 536 sites within a 4000 km 2 area of southeastern Cape Breton Island. The sampling grid was irregular because of the difficulty in accessing some areas. The principal sampling medium was black spruce bark (collected at an average density of 1 sample per 15 km 2), but black spruce twigs, balsam fir twigs and larch (also known as tamarack) bark and twigs were also collected. The black spruce bark data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2558 and the balsam fir twig data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2758.

This diskette contains two versions of the digital data for GSC Open file 2558. OF2558.DAT
contains the data in RBASE UNLOAD format. It is an ASCII file. It can be read into
an RBASE database, by using the command "INPUT OF2558.DAT". OF2558.DBF is a DBASE-compatible
version of the same file. It is a binary file. It can be read by any DBASE-compatible
software.
The published data listing contains erroneous data for samples 1002, 1003, 1006 and
2058, and is missing data for sample 2057. These errors have been corrected in the
digital files.
