Abstract

    Since 1907, the Harvard Forest has served as a center for research and education in forest biology and conservation. The Forest's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, established in 1988 and funded by the National Science Foundation, provides a framework for much of this activity.

    Data Table

    • Title: Seedlings and Saplings in the Clearcut Site at Harvard Forest since 2013
    • Start Date: 2010-01-01
    • End Date: 2013-12-31
    • Description: The aim of this dataset is to quantify the changes over time in woody seedling and sapling abundances and sizes at a site that was clearcut in the fall of 2008, followed by natural regeneration. It evidences successional changes in recruitment, survival, and associated self-thinning, and can be used to quantify an accumulation of aboveground live biomass post-clearing with corresponding allometric relationships.

    • Purpose: This dataset quantifies the changes over time to woody seeling and sapling abundances and sizes after a clearcutting, in order to quantify aboveground live biomass.
