Summary:

The BOREAS TE-06 team collected several data sets in support of its efforts to characterize and interpret information on the plant biomass, allometry, biometry, sapwood, leaf area index, net primatry production, soil temperature, leaf water potential, soil CO2 flux, and multivegetation imagery of boreal vegetation. This data set includes tree measurements conducted on the above gound biomass of trees in the BOREAS NSA and SSA during the growing seasons of 1994 and 1995 and the derived allometric relationships/equations.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/TE/te6allom/comp/TE06_Allometry.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
