Cary Forest Plot Data 1993 to 1999

This dataset is a contribution to the Cary
Institute of Ecosystem Studies. The Cary Forest Plots were established in 1984
as part of The Cary Vegetation Study, which described the vegetation of the
then Cary Arboretum. The project established 76 permanent plots referred to as
the "Cary Forest Plots". Data collection in the plots was extensive
and included a survey of mature trees, saplings, seedlings, shrubs and
herbaceous species as well as soil analyses, tree ring data and physical
descriptions of each plot. Subsequent re-surveys of the plots were done in 20
of the 76 original plots as part of the Forest Response to Stress and Damage
(FORSTAD) project, which took place over approximately 10 years in the 1990’s.
These surveys included an annual canopy census of trees. Canopy census data
were also collected in other plots studied in the FORSTAD project, including
Nutrient Cycling Plots A & B and in the control plots in the Yellow,
Teahouse grid and the Red, Henry Grid. Another resurvey of 43 of the Cary Forest
Plots was done in 2006 by Dan Katz as part of his Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU) project and his senior thesis project at Bard College. His
surveys included mature trees, saplings, seedlings, shrubs and herbaceous
species as well as soil analyses. This repository includes canopy census data
from 20 of the Cary Forest Plots from the 1993-1999 FORSTAD project.The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies

本数据集为卡里生态系统研究学院（Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies）的捐献。卡里森林样地（Cary Forest Plots）建立于1984年，作为卡里植被研究（The Cary Vegetation Study）的一部分，该研究旨在描述当时卡里植物园的植被状况。该项目设立了76个永久性样地，被称为“卡里森林样地”。在样地中进行的资料收集工作广泛而详尽，包括成熟树木、幼苗、树苗、灌木和草本植物的调查，以及土壤分析、树木年轮数据和每个样地的物理描述。作为森林对压力和损伤响应（Forest Response to Stress and Damage, FORSTAD）项目的一部分，对76个原始样地中的20个进行了后续的再调查，该项目在20世纪90年代大约持续了10年时间。这些调查包括树木年轮的年度冠层调查。FORSTAD项目中研究的其他样地，包括营养循环样地A和B，以及黄色、茶屋网格和红色、亨利网格的控制样地，也收集了冠层调查数据。2006年，丹·卡茨（Dan Katz）作为他在巴德学院（Bard College）的研究生研究经历（REU）项目和毕业论文项目的一部分，对43个卡里森林样地进行了再次调查。他的调查内容包括成熟树木、幼苗、树苗、灌木和草本植物，以及土壤分析。本存储库包括来自1993-1999年FORSTAD项目的20个卡里森林样地的冠层调查数据。卡里生态系统研究学院在以下条件下提供数据：数据已接受质量保证审查，尽管我们对这些数据的准确性充满信心，但卡里学院不对数据中的错误承担责任。数据可能因数据筛选或使用模型的更新而发生变化。数据引用：请点击Figshare存储库中的引用按钮。有意在卡里生态系统研究学院发表数据的个人，建议联系数据管理员[e-mail]。
