Long-term trends in abundance of Lepidoptera larvae at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and three additional northern hardwood forest sites, 1986-2018 (Reformatted to the ecocomDP Design Pattern)

This data package is formatted as an ecocomDP (Ecological Community
Data Pattern). For more information on ecocomDP see
https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. This Level 1 data package was
derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-hbr/82/8.
The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and
is included for context: Numbers and lengths of Lepidoptera larvae (caterpillars, all species)
were censused on shrub level foliage at biweekly intervals from late
May/early June through late July/early August each year. Measurements
were conducted on the Main bird plot in the Hubbard Brook Experimental
Forest and on three additional plots within the White Mountain
National Forest from 1986-1997.. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study
(HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA
Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
