dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Founded in 1963, the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study is one of the longest running and most comprehensive ecosystem studies in the world. The collaborative, multidisciplinary research efforts include long-term studies of air, water, soils, plants, and animals. The study site is the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, a 7,800-acre northern hardwood forest situated in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study is a unique public-private partnership involving the USDA Forest Service, the National Science Foundation’s Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, and scientists from research institutions throughout the country.

    • dataset_eml_datatablestartdate: 1982-01-01
    • dataset_eml_datatabledescription: A whole-tree harvest was conducted during the dormant season of 1983-1984 in order to assess ecosystem response to whole-tree logging operations. Pre-harvest forest inventory surveys were conducted in 1982 on the whole of the watershed. Post-harvest surveys were conducted in 1990, 1994 and every 5 years thereafter. Sampling methods change overtime so users should be aware of these changes when looking to aggregate data. Pre-treatment sampling included all stems >=2cm, post treatment measurements in 1990 were conducted using circular plots, 1995 to 2005 where conducted within a subset of the 25x25m grid cells on 1x25m square plots, and the final measurement 2009 included nested circular plots

    • dataset_eml_datatablepurpose: To asses the ecosystem response to whole-tree logging operations during the dormant season.
