Robel Pole Measurements in the Extensive Sites — GLBRC Biodiversity Experiment
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Robel pole measurements were done to determine plant vertical structure in the GLBRC Extensive site biomass harvest areas. The robel pole measurements were made just prior to harvesting the biomass to allow for comparison between biomass and robel pole measurement. Two roble pole readings were made at each location by two people.
This datatable is part of the GLBRC Extensive Sites dataset.
This research is part of the broader investigation of the implications of cellulosic biofuel production on biodiversity, including beneficial microbes and insects as well as birds of conservation interest.
