dataset_eml_abstractheader

    This project is a 50-year monitoring effort to examine the long-term effects of broad-scale environmental changes--particularly changes in climate, air quality, soil health, and vegetation, in the Green Mountain National Forests.

    • dataset_eml_datatabletitle: Subplot Vegetation data
    • dataset_eml_datatablestartdate: 2008-01-01
    • dataset_eml_datatableendate: 2011-01-01
    • dataset_eml_datatabledescription: LEMP subplot vegetation data indicates canopy and ground cover classes for all vegetation types as well as the natural community of each subplot.

    • dataset_eml_datatablepurpose: The purpose of this dataset is to assess the cover of ground variables (cryptobiotic crust, lichen, leaf litter, mineral soil, moss, road/trail, rock, standing water, streams/lakes, wood, trash/junk/other) as well as total canopy cover for each canopy layer (0-6 feet, >6-16 feet, >16 feet).
