Purpose:Describes Northeastern Forest
Experiment Station long-term research for which data have been collected
for 5 years or longer. The catalog and database were developed to
reduce duplication of scientific efforts and to facilitate interaction
among researchers. Entries for each of the 90 long-term data sets
include details such as site characteristics, variable names, year
collected, sampling design, data storage method, purpose of the
data, and potential application to global change research. Database
entries are cataloged sequentially and further organized according
to common study topics into 29 themes. Themes contain as few as
one and as many as 25 entries. Some multidiscipline entries are
organized under more than one theme.
