Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Watershed 6 Tree Inventory, 1965 - ongoing

The watershed is forested by typical northern hardwood species (sugar maple, beech and yellow birch) on the lower 90% of its area and by a montane boreal transition forest of red spruce, balsam fir and white birch on the highest 10%. Forest inventory surveys were initiated in 1965, repeated in 1977, and repeated at 5 year intervals after that. This data set includes all inventories from 1965 to 2022 (11 surveys). The inventory consists of a total inventory of all trees ≥10 cm diameter-at-breast-height (dbh) (over 11,000 individual stems overtime) on the whole of the watershed (13.23 ha, 549−792 m in elevation), as measured in each of the 208 grid cells (= plots; 25 m x 25 m, 625 m2).
