Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Experimental Design

Methods

Each fall dendrometer bands are read to accurately describe yearly growth of approximately ten individuals representative of each tree species within the LTER control plots. These measurements are used to calculate diamter growth of each tree. A second band is placed on trees several years before the old band is outgrown to allow the new band time to fit snugly to the tree before accurate measurements are possible. A manual measurement using a diameter tape is also taken at the time of the band reading and stored with the raw data.

All data was corrected in 2009 using manually measured diameters to compensate for the time required for the trees to grow to a snug fit with the band following establishment. 2010 to present growth is calculated based on the 2009 diameters.
