Cloquet Forestry Center arboretum larch individual tree diameter and height 2016

During August 2 through September 20, 2016 Kyle Gill, University of Minnesota Cloquet Forestry Center (CFC) Manager and Research Coordinator, led an effort to sample individual tree size on larch species found in the CFC arboretum. Five different larch species were sampled, and one species had two varieties: Larix laricina, Larix gmelini, Larix dahurica, Larix gmelini var. olgensis, Larix siberica, and Larix occidentalis. The value of these data are that they are a snapshot of individual tree sizes of 139 individuals from six different larch species established using the same protocols that have been left to grow in their neighborhood for around 85 years. These data are being released now because they have been requested by a team of researchers in Maine, United States, who are compiling and analyzing individual tree from across the Great Lakes region.
