Tier 1 Metadata
- Tier 1 Data List
- Tier 1 Plot-level Biomass and NPP Estimates
Net primary production (NPP) is one of the standard measurements of productivity for terrestrial ecosystems research. These calculations should facilitate the analysis of productivity of planted pine across a wide range of soils, climate, and management conditions, and will be invaluable for the validation and verification of PINEMAP modeling efforts. This dataset contains NPP estimates from 3018 plots from 469 study locations in the Tier 1 network. Because many plots were measured multiple times, there are 10,971 individual estimates of NPP in the dataset. - Tier 1 Data Request Form
Metadata for the Tier 1 datasets is available on the PINEMAP intranet site. The file lists all of the data structures submitted from the cooperatives along with some of the basic information you need to determine which data fits your projects. To gain access to the tier 1 data you will need to fill a request form to authorize the use of the data. The tier 1 data will be made available to authorized users via TerraC shortly.
Tier 1 Metadata Disclaimer
The Tier 1 metadata in this spreadsheet reflects the original data submitted by the cooperatives. The structure of the data has been altered to conform to standards in the distribution system utilized by the PINEMAP Project, TerraC. All of the data submitted is offered in its entirety, but some columns have been renamed and some data has been reorganized to harmonize the tier 1 dataset.
