Dataset Overview
Field data collected on coarse woody debris (CWD). CWD includes downed, dead tree and shrub boles, large limbs, and other woody pieces that are severed from their original source of growth and are on the ground. Wood pieces must be >3.0 inches in diameter at the point of intersection with the transect.
- Purpose
To quantify the nature of dead and down material on plots in the LEMP network in order to monitor carbon sequestration and the storage and cycling of nutrients and water.
