| SOS_reference_tree_data.csv |
\Data |
CSV file containing listings of dbh and species for up to three dominant trees or stumps per measurement plot, as well as tree or stump distance and azimuth from plot center, to assist with re-locating plot center following the disturbances associated with harvesting. |
