dataset_eml_abstractheader

    The Forest Health Monitoring Program was established in 1991 as a joint effort between the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR) and the Vermont Monitoring Cooperative (VMC) (as of March 2017 renamed to Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative (FEMC)) to monitor the condition of a range of tree species in Vermont. Plot design follows the structure set by the National Forest Health Monitoring Program with additional metrics added to reflect improvements in monitoring technologies and additions to monitoring objectives.

    • Abundance Ranking of Ferns
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Fern diversity was assessed at the subplot level at each FHM plot. Every species found within the boundaries of a subplot was identified and then each species was given a ranking based on its abundance. Abundance was quantified using a scale that ranged from 1-5, with 1 representing the presence of one or two individuals and 5 representing that total ground cover consisted almost entirely of the species in question.
