dataset_eml_abstractheader

    This is a low impact research project that involves a) vegetation surveys to characterize forest overstory structure (tree id, height and diameter) and understory composition (tree seedlings and herbaceous cover); b) measurements of long term stand microclimate using iButton data loggers and c) extracting tree cores to study how climate affects tree growth and mortality.
