Abstract:
The purpose of the "Luquillo Experimental Forest (LUQ)" dataset is to
study and manage the forest ecosystems of the Luquillo Mountains and
document long-term studies of the relationship between disturbance
regime and forest structure in the Luquillo Experimental Forest LTER
site in Puerto Rico. It contains data resulting from the investigation
of the relative importance of different types of
... disturbance within
the four life zones constituting the landscape of the Luquillo
Experimental Forest. The data also include analyses of the importance
of the biota in restoring ecosystem productivity after different types
of disturbances within representative watersheds in one of these life
zones. The creation of this dataset is a collaborative project between
the University of Puerto Rico and the USDA Forest Service.
