Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge green-tree reservoir 2016 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 2016. Parameters measured are species, diameter, vigor class, canopy class, whether or not the tree is a new recruit in 2016, whether the tree is a tip-up (windthrow) or a gap tree in 2016, and whether Hypoxylon canker fungus is present on the tree in 2016. These parameters are defined in the Entity and Attributes section of this metadata file.
