This project combines soil units mapped and described by the NRCS and remotely- sensed data to describe spatial patterns in plant species distribution and traits on the Santa Rita Experimental Range.The aim of this analysis is to relate soil physical and chemical properties to vegetation distribution and productivity on at scales larger than the site-level.
