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. Information about LTER is also available at "http://lternet.edu/" 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.
