Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Droughtnet dendrometer band measurements

Dendrometer bands were installed to measure tree diameter growth in
the Hubbard Brook DroughtNet plots in 2014. Changes in stem diameter,
basal area, and aboveground biomass can all be calculated from
dendrometer band measurements, provided the tree diameter is known for
at least one measurement date. Data from nearby CCASE control plots 1
and 2 can be used as references for these data (these will be part of
a forthcoming separate package). 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.
