BOREAS Stem Growth and Sapwood Measurements from 1994

BOREAS TE-02 team data contains measurements of stem growth and sapwood collected in the Northern Study Area (NSA) during the 1994 growing season. This dataset supports research on respiration of foliage, roots, and wood in boreal vegetation. It is managed by ORNL_CLOUD and is present on multiple government data platforms.

Use Cases

• Analyzing relationships between stem growth and sapwood characteristics in boreal tree species.
• Modeling carbon allocation and respiration in forest vegetation components.
• Providing ground-truth data for remote sensing studies of boreal forest productivity.
• Studying seasonal growth dynamics of boreal vegetation during a specific growing season.

Strengths

• Data collection is focused on a specific, well-defined research objective within the BOREAS project.
• Measurements are temporally constrained to the 1994 growing season, providing a seasonal snapshot.
• Cross-platform presence on NASA EarthData and Data.gov indicates recognized scientific value.

Limitations

• Critical metadata such as row count, column names, and exact file size are unavailable from all sources.
• There is a conflict on the 'last updated' date between 1994-09-25 and 2026-03 13 across platforms.
• The specific license is listed as 'other-license-specified' but details are not provided.
