Summary
Abstract: The biomass of plants surveyed in permanent plots at 10 GCE LTER sampling sites
in October 2002 was estimated based on allometric relationships between biomass
and shoot height and flowering status derived for each site, zone, and species
in October 2002. Biomass was only calculated for dominant species, including
Spartina alterniflora, S. cynosuroides, Juncus roemerianus, and Zizaniopsis
miliacea. This data set is based on GCE plant monitoring survey data set
PLT-GCEM-0211, and allometric relationships were based on GCE data set
PLT-GCEM-0211b.
