A Forest Vegetation Database for Western Oregon
Entry ID:
USGS_OFR_2004_1249
Summary
Abstract:
Data on forest vegetation in western Oregon were assembled for 2323 ecological
survey plots. All data were from fixed-radius plots with the standardized design of the Current Vegetation Survey (CVS) initiated in the early 1990s. For each site, the database includes: 1) live tree density and basal area of common tree species, 2) total live tree density, basal area, estimated biomass, and estimated leaf area; 3) age of the oldest overstory tree examined, 4) geographic coordinates, 5) elevation, 6) interpolated climate variables, and 7) other site variables. The data are ideal for ecoregional analyses of existing vegetation. [Summary provided by the USGS.]
