      • Establishment of prism plots
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Ninety permanent, 10 factor prism plots were established on both sides of the Butler Lodge trail from transects beginning at each trail marker. Each plot represents 3 acres.

      • Data collected
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: General information on surface features, wildlife understory (duff layer, 0-2' height zone, 2-10' zone, 10-30' zone), regeneration, canopy closure, site quality, and stand damage; trees were scribed at dbh and measurements included: dbh (in 2" categories), sawlog and pulpwood lengths, species, quality code, crown position and wildlife features.

      • Determining site indices
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Cores taken on a percentage of plots to determine site indices.

      • dataset_eml_methodsUnnamed
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Permanent plots established in 1995 were revisited to determine tree health for individual trees on plots.

      • Tree health ratings
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: FOREX tree health ratings consisted of : healthy (<10% dieback), moderate (11-50%), severe (>50%), dead.

      • Crown condition and damage
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Additional crown condition and tree damage data was recorded following National Forest Health Monitoring standard protocols.
