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_attributelistlabel: Coarse Woody Debris

• dataset_eml_attributelistdescription: Coarse woody debris was measured at each subplot along a 24' transect that is ran at 30 degrees from subplot center. The fields that make up this table are PlotID, SubplotID, Year, TransectAutoID, Transect Diameter, LargeEndDiameter, SmallEndDiamter, Species, DecayClass, and Length.

• dataset_eml_attributelistlabel: Quadrat Vegetation Data

• dataset_eml_attributelistdescription: This table contains vegetation data collected on three 1 m^2 quadrats at each subplot. Quadrats were set up 15' from subplot center at 30, 150, and 270 degrees. Species presence/absence and canopy cover at three layer heights was sampled. For cover layer fields, 999 indicates trace amounts (<1%)
