Listing and links to CZIMEA data and metadata

• Cross-CZO sample processing workflow diagram (pdf)
• Mayorga et al, Cross-Site Soil and Microbial Ecology Cyberinfrastructure for the CZIMEA EarthCube Project (pdf). Poster presented at the CUAHSI Conference on Hydroinformatics in Tuscaloosa, AL, July 2017.
• Also relevant: data collected by the CZO's at the same sites

Sampling planning and geospatial data

• MODIS-derived mean monthly time series of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), to identify the timing of peak greenness. Here's an example
• Environmental characterization for the site, based on spatial datasets. For now, see these notes about this effort. These will be loaded into the CZIMEA ODM2 Admin system listed below

Site/stample metadata, environmental data and non-omics biological data

• CZIMEA ODM2 Admin
  • Development version, https://dev-odm2admin.cuahsi.org/CZIMEA/ User permission is required for full access. A subset of functionality is publicly accessible read-only via the map interface at http://dev-odm2admin.cuahsi.org/CZIMEA/mapdata.html
  • Live version (coming)
• Sample metadata (SESAR & IGSN). Examples
  • Southern Sierra CZO: San Joaquin Experimental Reserve (SJER) Core, IGSN IERRR00AS: https://data.geosamples.org/sample/igsn/IERRR00AS
  • CZO0050 Individual Sample from the above Core, IGSN IERRR00GV: https://data.geosamples.org/sample/igsn/IERRR00GV
  • List of all CZO sites (not just CZIMEA CZO sites): https://app.geosamples.org/cruise_search.php?group_id=255 "This group includes all CZO samples registered with object type Site. This might help with your sample registration so that you can also include a parent sample for the CZO site. You'll need to do some filtering to find the site that you wish to associate with your samples - it might be easiest to do Items per page > All, then Control F to find the site (and IGSN) that you're looking for."
• Sampling and analytical methods. Some are available as documents online. A better approach could be explored using systems like https://www.protocols.io
• Soil physical properties: field capacity, gravimetric water, texture
• C & N concentrations, isotopes, pH
• Biological: microbial mass

Omics data

• MG-RAST CZIMEA data: http://www.mg-rast.org/linkin.cgi?project=mgp80869 ("merged, quality filtered, and unassembled shotgun sequences are available")
• Other data deposited at IMG and Figshare, as described in a CZIMEA manuscript being submitted for publication
