Plot-level data for characterisation of...
This table contains the plot-level information required to reproduce the charaterisation of 'latent reserves' and comparison to managed forests:
- "FOREST_TYPE" states whether a row corresponds to managed forests or to 'latent reserves' with a given number of years without human intervention (for example, 'LATENT_RESERVE40' are the 'latent reserves' with at least 40 years without human intervention)
- "ELEV_VEG_ZONE" refers to the elevation vegetation zone (colline and submontane, montane or subalpine)
- "DOMINANT_SPECIES" refers to the dominant species in a given plot (spruce, fir, other conifers, beech, other broadleaves)
- "TIME_SINCE_INTERVENTION" refers to the numbers of years since the last human intervention on the plot. This variable should be used to set the threshold of time since last intervention one wants to use to define 'latent reserves'.
- "VEGYEAR" refers to the number of vegetation years between the measurements of a plot for NFI2 and NFI3.
- "BA" provides the basal area in squared meters per hectare of a plot calculated from trees having a DBH of at least 12 cm.
- "BA_WITH_YG" provides the basal area in squared meters per hectare of a plot calculated from trees having a DBH of at least 12 cm as well as young growth trees.
- "STAND_DENSITY" provides the stand density in number of stems per hectare of a plot calculated from trees having a DBH of at least 12 cm.
- "STAND_DENSITY_WITH_YG" provides the stand density in number of stems per hectare of a plot calculated from trees having a DBH of at least 12 cm as well as young growth trees.
- "SITE_INDEX" refers to the site index of a plot, i.e. the total biomass productivity calculated according to Keller (1976).
- "DEADWOOD" refers to the amount of deadwood of a plot in tons per hectare.
