Detailed documentation of the fields comprising the dataset, including the type of measurement, units where applicable, and any controlled vocabularies or code lists present in the data
| Field Name | Caption | Description | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| tblCoarseWoodyDebris | Coarse Woody Debris | 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. | Measurement type: Ordinal |
| tblPlotInfo | Plot Information | This table provides descriptive plot information that aids in relocating plots. The fields that make up this table are PlotID, PlotName, Latitude, Longitude, CoordinateSystem, ForestType, Elevation, Slope, Soils, Directions, and Comments. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblPlotVegVisit | Plot Vegetation Visit Info | This table contains visit information related to vegetation surveys done per plot. The fields that make up this field are PlotID, Year, VisitDate, VegSampleKind, VegCrewName, PlotVisitNotes. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblQuadratVegData | Quadrat Vegetation Data | 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%) | Measurement type: Ordinal |
| tblSapling | Sapling | This table contains all measurements taken for saplings found within the microplot of each subplot. Microplots were located 12' at 90 degrees from the subplot center with a 6.8' radius. Health and physical measurements were recorded. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblSeedling | Seedling | This table contains seedlings counts per species at each subplot of each plot. | Measurement type: Interval Units: Precision: 1 |
| tblSubplotInfo | Subplot Information | This table contains location information for each subplot at each plot. This table contains fields PlotId, SubplotID, fldLatitude, and fldLongitude. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblSubplotTreeVisit | Subplot Tree Visit Information | This table contains visit information about any subplot visits where tree sampling was conducted. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblSubplotVegData | Subplot vegetation | This table contains all vegetation and ground cover data per subplot. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblSubplotVegVisit | Subplot Vegetation Sampling | This table contains all visit information for each subplot related to vegetation sampling. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblTree | Tree | This table contains all tree data sampled at each subplot. All trees with a DBH greater than 5" and fell within the 24' radius of the subplot were sampled. | Measurement type: Nominal |
| tblTreeInfo | Tree Information | This table contains all tree location data sampled at each subplot. This information helps to relocate the trees in reference to the subplot center. Azimuths were taken using true north. | Measurement type: Nominal |
