Canopy coverage and dry weight of understory vegetation from two silvicultural experiments in southeast Alaska

This data publication contains understory vegetation canopy coverage and dry weight data collected from 2007 to 2019 as part of the Tongass Wide Young Growth Studies (TWYGS) and Prince of Wales Commercial Thinning (POW-CT) silviculture experiments on young growth stands on the Tongass National Forest, Alaska. Data include vegetation cover information such as plant scientific name, species percent cover and dry weight of vegetation.Data were collected as part of two long-term silvicultural experiments, TWYGS and POW-CT. These studies analyze the effects of these experiments on wildlife habitat and understory vegetation (a key component of wildlife habitat). These data have been used to develop allometric equations to estimate vegetation biomass for publications of these studies.
