Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/CWT004: Clearcut Regeneration Study: WS07 Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory

LTER/CWT004:
This data set compares species composition and biomass across sites
and over the first 6 years of regrowth with values for an adjacent,
uneven-age, mixed hardwood forest (WS 18). Data collection took place
during years 1, 2, 3, and 6 (1977, 1978, 1979, and 1982 respectively).
Throughout the study, hardwood stems were sampled to determine
diameter/ biomass relationships by fitting logarithmic transformed
equations for leaf, bole, and branch biomass. These were coupled with
plot survey data to estimate biomass of woody species, and destructive
plot harvesting was used for herbaceous and vine biomass.

NOTE: LTER data may be made available to individuals for research
purposes. Use of LTER data requires that NSF's LTER grant and the
Principal Investigator of the dataset be sent a copy of the report or
manuscript prior to submission and be adequately cited in any
resultant publications. Datasets are provided by the Coweeta LTER Data
Bank, a partnership between the Institute of Ecology, University of
Georgia, and the U.S. Forest Service Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory,
Otto, North Carolina.
