Methods

The methods followed in the creation of the dataset, including description of field, laboratory and processing steps, and quality control procedures

Current Methods

  • Seedling Plot: 3.7’ radius
    Started: 2015-06-01

    Within each seedling plot seedling species is recorded as well as the height class for each seedling. The height classes are: 6” to 12”, 12”-24”, 24”-54”, and over 54”. If the seedling is under 6” the presence is just noted.
