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年秋季皆伐后经自然更新的样地内，木本幼苗（woody seedling）与幼树（sapling）的多度及个体大小随时间的变化。该数据集可反映种群补充、存活及伴随的自疏过程中的演替变化，同时可结合相应的异速生长关系，量化皆伐后地上活体生物量的累积量。
