Seedlings and Saplings in the Clearcut Site at Harvard Forest since 2013

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.

本数据集旨在量化2008年秋季经皆伐（clearcut）后自然更新的样地中，木本幼苗与幼树的丰度及大小随时间的变化。它揭示了群落演替过程中在更新、存活及相关自疏作用方面的变化，并可结合相应的异速生长关系（allometric relationships）量化皆伐后地上活生物量的积累。
