Viewing a version of dataset "Forestland area by age class for the Northeast"

Version name: NY FIA stand age for indicators 20191204

This page provides information about a version of dataset "Forestland area by age class for the Northeast" that was created. This version information can be used to accurately cite the dataset at a particular point in time, and to define dynamic subsets of data as they were used in publications or reports.

This approach to creating versions is built upon the Dynamic Data Citation best practices recommendations of the Research Data Alliance


Purpose

Stand age diversity represents the presence of a large range of age classes in the forest. The age of the trees in a forest provides us a sense of the amount of time since a stand-replacing disturbance event has occurred, such as a hurricane or a timber harvest. Across our forests, we want a diversity of stand ages, with some stands being young and new and others being old and in place for a long time. This provides a diversity of habitat for a range of wildlife, and resilience to change.
