Under Professor William Keeton's supervision, field crews collected data at four sites at multiple points in time. One of the primary outcomes is a journal article in Ecological Applications.Wind Disturbance in Temperate ForestsKeetonWilliamMeigsGarrettstand structureforest dynamicscommunity compositionwindforest disturbancecarbonTransect data2007-08-222015-08-13Transect-level data on forest structure, composition, and carbon pools (downed coarse woody detritus).Z1219_2446_GA6MMCVMC.1219.2446mySQLMeigs, Garrett; Keeton, William (2018): Transect data for "Intermediate-severity wind disturbance in mature temperate forests: Legacy structure, carbon storage, and stand dynamics" (Ecological Applications article).
