Forest Resilience Threshold Experiment (FoRTE) - Scaling and analysis of aboveground wood net primary production (ANPPw)

These data were collected in 2018 and 2019 at the University of Michigan Biological Station as a part of the Forest Resilience and Threshold Experiment (FoRTE), and were used in the analysis of aboveground wood net primary production (ANPPw) documented in Grigri et al. (unpublished).
Diameter growth increments of a sub-sample of stems from all canopy strata were used to infer ecosystem scale ANPPw. Upper canopy refers to stems ≥8cm diameter at breast height (DBH), subcanopy refers to stems 1-8cm DBH, and seedling/saplings refers to stems <1cm DBH. Dendrometer bands were used to record repeated measures of upper canopy trees. Digital calipers were used for DBH measurements in the subcanopy, and base diameter and height measurements of seedling/saplings.
FoRTE_all_trees.csv is 2018 census data off all trees present in experimental plots. DBL_dendrobands.csv is data collected from multiple dendrometer bands at different stem heights on a single tree (see Grigri et al., unpublished). FoRTE_LAI.csv is leaf area index (LAI) estimated from hemispherical images taken throughout the growing season of 2019 (Atkins et al., 2020).
