dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Tree cores were collected from five species of tree along an elevational gradient, replicated along three transects (watersheds) on Mt. Mansfield, VT. Note that these data and associated metadata have been archived on the DendroEcological Network located at www.uvm.edu/femc/dendro
