dataset_eml_abstractheader

    A summary of the latest USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis data for the Northeast. The network of randomly distributed inventory plots are designed to capture broad temporal changes in the condition of the nation’s forest resource. Spatial coverages of species distribution, extent of forest cover and biomass compliment the yearly data summaries to capture an unbiased estimated of the northeastern forests.

    • dataset_eml_datatabletitle: Tree Mortality
    • dataset_eml_datatablestartdate: 2007-01-01
    • dataset_eml_datatabledescription: Annual mortality is calculated as the volume (cubic ft) of average annual mortality of sound bole over the sound bole volume of live tree on forested land for New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. This data was extracted from the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) EVALIDator.

    • dataset_eml_datatablepurpose: Trees die for a variety of reasons, from windstorms and lightning strikes, to fungal or insect infestations. The trunks may persist for decades as standing dead trees providing habitat for birds and animals, or as logs slowly rotting on the forest floor and gradually returning nutrients to living plants. However, changes to the baseline tree mortality rate may signify that environmental conditions are changing and hastening the death of trees.
