Viewing a version of dataset "Damage and Decay"

Version name: NY_NW damage and decay for indicators 20201019

This page provides information about a version of dataset "Damage and Decay" that was created. This version information can be used to accurately cite the dataset at a particular point in time, and to define dynamic subsets of data as they were used in publications or reports.

This approach to creating versions is built upon the Dynamic Data Citation best practices recommendations of the Research Data Alliance


Purpose

Trees can become damaged for a variety of reasons such as lightning strikes, neighboring treefall, logging damage, poor growing conditions, insects, or genetics. Physical damage to trees can reduce their life span by allowing diseases and fungi to infiltrate the wood, leading to rot and decay. While damaged and decaying trees have a vital role in the forest ecosystem through providing habitat and food for a variety of organisms from fungi to insects, an increase in the proportion of our trees that are classified as damaged or decaying can impact the value of our forests and suggest that trees are being negatively impacted by stressors.
