• Label:
• Definition: Plot number where observations were made, corresponds to GPS location

Outside_historic_plot

• Label:
• Definition: Denotes whether the observation occurred outside of the historic plot, as a result of plot size standardization activities carried out during LTREB initiation.
• Type: Nominal

Measure_year

• Label:
• Definition: Year measurement was taken
• Type: Nominal

,
Date

• Label:
• Definition: More specific date of measurement
• Type: Nominal
• Missing values: None specified

,
Origin_year

• Label:
• Definition: Year of stand initiation. As best can be determined from historic records or dendrochronology, this is the year that the trees present on a plot became established after some significant disturbance (e.g., clearcutting or stand-replacing fire). Often assumed to be equal to the age of the oldest trees present on the plot.

,
Stand_year

• Label:
• Definition: Age of the stand at the time of the plot census in which the tree was measured. Calculated as Measure_year - Origin_year
• Type: Nominal
• Missing values: None specified

,
Common_name

• Label:
• Definition: Common/Scientific name of plant species measured
• Type: Nominal
• Missing values: None specified

,
Species_code

• Label:
• Definition: A four-character code to represent the common name of the plant species measured. See the "Common_name" column for the full name of a given species code
• Type: Nominal
• Missing values: None specified

,
Old_tag

• Label:
• Definition: Tree tag number (or letter, or combination) assigned as part of historic (pre-2014) plot censuses. In many of the long-term forest inventory plots, trees were never tagged, but were measured as individuals each time a census was performed. Thus, each row represents a unique measurement of a tree (not a duplicate). For large historic plots, LTREB plots installed within these plots sometimes encountered these old tags and their identities were transcribed into the LTREB plot inventory dataset to enable tracking across past inventory data.

• Missing values: None specified

,
LTREB_tag

• Label:
• Definition: Tags installed as part of plot census during LTREB intiation in 2014. In plots never before sampled, but sampled first in 2014 for LTREB, all trees will have tag IDs. For LTREB plots within older historic plots, all trees within the LTREB 0.1 ha (18 m radius) plot will have these tag IDs (as well as perhaps an old_tag ID).

• Definition: Diameter at breast height of tree being measured, in centimeters
• Type: Nominal
• Missing values: None specified

,
As_class

• Label:
• Definition: Marks DBH measurements that were taken in the form of a "size class" rather than an actual measurement ("Yes" if size class, "NA" if actual measurement)
