dataset_eml_abstractheader

    The Vermont State Continuous Forest Inventory is a data collection program that is a comprehensive measure of tree health, growth, and decay within Vermont state lands. It serves as a baseline data set for a variety of tree growth, landscape models, and climate predictive models. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to use this data.
