Data at a Glance

Description

This data set provides a 30-year record of Landsat TM and ETM+ derived forest phenology and the results of tree ring analyses for annual wood production and nitrogen and carbon isotopic composition at 113 selected forested sites in the eastern United States. The sites are located in four national parks: Prince William Forest Park (PRWI), Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (HAFE), Catoctin Mountain Park (CATO), and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). Phenology and tree ring data cover 1984-2013.
