Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge green-tree reservoir 1995 forest plot measurements

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-08-30T00:00:00Z
A green-tree reservoir (GTR) is a stand of bottomland hardwoods that is intentionally flooded in the fall and winter to support migrating waterfowl. Bottomland hardwood forest plots in the GTR on Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge (FNWR) are measured every 5-6 years to monitor tree survival, growth, and mortality. This dataset presents the measurements of all the trees in 54 plots during the year 1995. Parameters measured are species, diameter, vigor class, canopy class, and whether or not the tree is a new recruit in 1995. These parameters are defined in the Entity and Attributes section of this metadata file.
