Methods

Bonanza Creek LTER: Tree Inventory Data from 1989 to present at Core research sites in Interior Alaska. Tree inventory involves the measurement of dbh of all trees within a research site. Trees are given a number tag and permanently marked at DBH, for remeasurement purposes. At some sites, a stem map has been created. Only trees 2.5cm or greater at DBH are inventoried. When a tree dies, DBH is measured once after death, then recorded as -7777 for subsequent inventories. The standing dead tree remains as a part of the inventory. This is the data from the periodic (3-10 yr interval) tree inventory monitoring of tree growth within the vegetation control plots. In 2013 and 2014, an initial tree inventory was done on each site belonging to the Regional Site Network (RSN). Some young RSN sites had no, or very few trees. In general, inventory is every 5 years presently; the most recent collection was in 2018 and next scheduled collection is for 2023.
