Abstract:
Vegetation on six research watersheds (catchments) at the Marcell Experimental Forest in Minnesota were surveyed during 1968. Tree and sapling density per area, stand crown density, percent brushiness, and percent plant cover were estimated on milacre plots at nodes of sampling grids on each catchment. Within the timber types of each catchment, the ages, heights, and site index were estimated on at least five dominant or co-dominant trees. These data were used to estimate cords and cubic feet per acre for each type and catchment. This data publication includes the full report associated with these 1968 data, as well as the data in ASCII text format.
