  • During a ten-year observation period three plots in Hemlock Overlook Regional Park were regularly sampled and the count DBH values and identities of all trees in the plots were recorded. In total there were 94 sampling events across the ten years with a total of 4536 trees counted and measured. This dataset adds to the literature a longitudinal consistent sampling dataset that can be used for forestry and forest ecology research.
