Variables
Site
  • Label:
  • Definition: Three sites in Washtenaw County, Michigan, were selected for field data collection: Scio Woods Preserve, Brauer Preserve, and Creekshead Preserve.
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Plot #
  • Label:
  • Definition: For each site, random plot locations were generated and then superimposed on leaf-on NearMap imagery. Plot locations were randomly placed using the Create Random Points tool in ArcGIS Pro. Maps of the field sites were exported as PDFs and uploaded to the Avenza Maps app and used along with a handheld compass and Trimble R1 unit to navigate to plot locations in the field. Each random point was marked as the southwest corner of the plot, and the square plot extended 10 meters True North and 10 meters East.
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Biomass
  • Label:
  • Definition: Plot-level biomass measures are usually expressed on a per-unit-area basis, such as kg/m2, and calculated as the sum of biomass values for individual trees in a plot. It is widely assumed that the carbon content of a tree is 50% of its biomass. Once the biomass is known, carbon content can easily be calculated by multiplying by a factor of 0.5.
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
