Methods
A whole-tree harvest was conducted during the dormant season of 1983-1984 in order assess ecosystem response to whole-tree logging operations. Pre-harvest forest inventory surveys were conducted in 1982 on the whole of the watershed. Post-harvest surveys were conducted in 1990 1994 and every 5 years thereafter. This dataset was collected in summer of 1999. Survey methods differed between years due to the variability encountered in the aggrading forest. The inventory consists of a total inventory of all trees >=10-cm dbh on the whole of the watershed for 1982; AND The inventory consists of all trees >=1.5-cm dbh on a 1 x 25 m plot within each of 101 of the 25 x 25 m grid units for the other years Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = AboveGroundBiomass
