Stem temperature in watershed 02, ridge plot at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory from 1996 to 1998

Tree stem temperature is currently being collected to determine both diurnal and seasonal variation in tree stem temperatures for all species and sizes present at the Coweeta Watershed 2 Ridge Carbon Flux Plot. The purpose of the data is to characterize the tree stem temperature regimes as they relate to tree stem respiration. Data will continue to be collected until approximately December 1997. Data will then be subsequently summarized and published.
