Forest inventory surveys took place in the watershed 6 of the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest since 1965. In 1982 and in 1987, trees >=2 to <=10 cm dbh were inventoried on 32 and 35 of the total 208 25 m x 25 m plots (i.e. 625 sq. Meters/plot) in the watershed. The inventories at each year were carried out in the summer. Aboveground and belowground biomass was estimated for each stem in the inventory and is included in the data. Estimates were based on species-specific allometric equations developed at Hubbard Brook.
