| Downloadable | Coarse Woody Debris data | Field data collected on coarse woody debris (CWD). CWD includes downed, dead tree and shrub boles, large limbs, and other woody pieces that are severed from their original source of growth and are on the ground. Wood pieces must be >3.0 inches in diameter at the point of intersection with the transect. | To quantify the nature of dead and down material on plots in the LEMP network in order to monitor carbon sequestration and the storage and cycling of nutrients and water. | 2008-01-01 to 2017-10-01 |
| By request | Long-Term Ecosystem Monitoring Project Database | This dataset contains the LEMP database created by the FEMC. This database contains data on coarse woody debris, descriptive plot and subplot information, specific visit information for plot vegetation sampling, vegetation data for each quadrat, saplings, seedlings, and trees. Plots are located throughout the Green Mountain National Forest of Vermont and the Finger Lakes region of New York. | Organize the LEMP datasets that make up the LEMP datbase. LEMP is a 50-year monitoring effort that examines the broad-scale environmental changes -- particularly changes in climate, air quality, soil health, and vegetation. | 2008-01-01 to 2058-12-31 |
| Downloadable | Microplot Sapling Data | Field data collected on sapling measurements, species abundances, health metrics, and damage indicators. A sapling is classified as any tree with a diameter at breast height between 1 and 5 inches within the microplot. | To compare species distributions between the under and over story in order to predict future forest composition/structure. | 2008-01-01 to 2016-01-01 |
| By request | Plot Identifying Information | Foundational information about plots, including location and status | Track plot-level information about LEMP plots. | 2008-01-01 to 2058-12-31 |
| Downloadable | Plot Vegetation Visit Information | Tracking plot vegetation visit information. This dataset contains information about the date vegetation sampling occurred, the initials of the crew members involved, the kind of vegetation sampling, and any notes pertaining to a specific visit. | Track vegetation sampling visits per plot. | 2008-08-06 (ongoing) |
| Downloadable | Quadrat Vegetation Data | Lemp quadrat vegetation data indicating species presence and canopy/ground cover. | To estimate vegetation diversity and abundance and monitor species distribution changes and responses to stressors. | 2008-01-01 to 2011-01-01 |
| Downloadable | Quadrat Vegetation Visit Data | Lemp quadrat vegetation visit data indicating quadrat ID numbers, whether or not each quadrat was sampled, amount of trampling, and miscellaneous subplot notes. | This dataset provides useful information for identifying each quadrat, determining if it needs sampling going forward, and notes about the subplot for future field crews. | 2008-01-01 to 2011-01-01 |
| By request | Seedling Measurements on Subplots | Counts of seedlings on microplot by species | Inventory and track regeneration processes on forest health monitoring plots
| 2008-01-01 to 2058-12-31 |
| By request | Subplot Identifying Information | Foundational information about subplots, including locations, condition and updates | Track subplot-level information about forest health monitoring plots | 2008-01-01 to 2058-12-31 |
| Downloadable | Subplot Vegetation data | LEMP subplot vegetation data indicates canopy and ground cover classes for all vegetation types as well as the natural community of each subplot. | The purpose of this dataset is to assess the cover of ground variables (cryptobiotic crust, lichen, leaf litter, mineral soil, moss, road/trail, rock, standing water, streams/lakes, wood, trash/junk/other) as well as total canopy cover for each canopy layer (0-6 feet, >6-16 feet, >16 feet). | 2008-01-01 to 2011-01-01 |
| Downloadable | Subplot Vegetation Visit Information | This dataset contains visit information from when LEMP crews head out to survey vegetation on plots and subplots. | Track subplot vegetation monitoring. | 2008-08-06 (ongoing) |
| Downloadable | Tree Data | This dataset includes tree measurements, species abundances, health metrics, and damage indicators collected. | This dataset will help us to understand species distributions and responses to environmental stressors such as acid deposition, climate change, foot traffic, and invasive species. | 2008-01-01 to 2016-01-01 |
| Downloadable | Tree Identifying Information | This dataset contains the basic tree info such as plot identification, location within the plot, and species. | | 2008-01-01 (ongoing) |
