► dataset_eml_abstractheader
This project contains monthly minimum and maximum temperatures as well as the total observed annual precipitation in New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. Also included are annual summaries of minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation trends derived from models of historical weather observations.

- dataset_eml_datatablestartdate: 1895-01-01
- dataset_eml_datatabledescription: These data are annual summaries of minimum temperature derived from models of historical weather observations. These data were downloaded from the National Center for Environmental Information.
- dataset_eml_datatablepurpose: With climate change, minimum winter temperatures are projected to increase. These higher minimum temperatures stress the native forest species by moving conditions away from what they are adapted to handle. Failure to reach typical low winter temperatures can allow for non-native pests, pathogens, and plants to proliferate while stressing the native forest species by moving conditions away from what they are adapted to handle. More frequent freeze-thaw cycles can damage tree roots and can mobilize nutrients away from forests where they are needed.
