Meteorological Data from Micheldever for Forest Monitoring (2009-2010)

Daily meteorological data collected at a single UK site as part of a Europe-wide intensive monitoring network established under a UN convention. The data was gathered to study the relationships between forest condition and anthropogenic factors like air pollution, alongside natural stressors. It is attributed to Forest Research and was collected under the ICP Forests Level II (later FutMon) program.
