Northern White-Cedar Regeneration, ACAD Plot Inventory Data

These data were collected during the summer of 2019 at three plots in Acadia National Park (NPS Study# ACAD-00513, Permit# ACAD-2019-SCI-0040) as part of a Master's thesis project conducted by Jeanette Allogio at the University of Maine. This study, titled Microsite Requirements for Successful Regeneration in Lowland Northern White-Cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) Forests, investigated the association between live northern white-cedar regeneration in the seedling and sapling size classes with fine-scale microsite conditions including microtopography, canopy openness, neighborhood crowding, and browse. This data set includes inventories of trees, saplings, and seedlings at three plots.本数据集采集于2019年夏季，采集点位为阿卡迪亚国家公园（Acadia National Park）内的3块样地，相关研究受美国国家公园管理局（National Park Service, NPS）研究编号ACAD-00513、许可编号ACAD-2019-SCI-0040支持，为缅因大学（University of Maine）Jeanette Allogio开展的硕士学位论文研究项目的组成部分。本研究题为《低地北方白雪松（Northern White-Cedar，*Thuja occidentalis* L.）林成功更新的微生境需求》，旨在探究幼苗与幼树径级的存活北方白雪松更新苗与精细尺度微生境条件之间的关联，所涉及的微生境条件包括微地形、冠层开度、邻体拥挤度以及植食动物啃食压力。本数据集包含上述3块样地内的成树、幼树及幼苗调查数据。
