Geography
Country: United States
State: West Virginia
Coordinate: 38° 18' 45" N, 79° 56' 15" W

Geography comments: coordinate is the midpoint between two nearby sampling areas
Environment
Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest
Protection: national/state forest
Substrate: ground surface
MAT: 9.6
MAP: 1273.0
Methods
Life forms: ants
Sites: 9
Sampling methods: quadrat,pitfall traps
Sample size: 5957 individuals
Years: 1995 - 1997
Days: 315
Nets or traps: 189
Net or trap nights: 19845
Sampling comments: nine plots each with two 3 x 3 arrays of pitfall traps during the first year and two 2 x 3 arrays in the second and third years (arrays were apparently not maintained, so the traps are counted separately); traps were checked 15 times a year and left out for one week at a time (meaning 105 days a year)
