Attributes in entity 1: LTEP 20-year tree plot inventory data set

     Details
1. DBCODE
Definition: Database Code TP122
Domain: enum
2. ENTITY
Definition: Entity number (data table number)
Units: number
Domain: range (minimum = 1.  maximum = 1.)
3. YEAR
Definition: Year measurements were taken
Units: year (yyyy)
Domain: range (minimum = 1992.  maximum = 2010.)
4. EXPBLOCK
Definition: Experimental block code system used internally on LTEP data sheets and in database entry
Domain: enum
5. EXPUNIT
Definition: Experimental unit: Block, Vegetation treatment, Organic matter treatment
Domain: enum
6. TREEPLOTCODE
Definition: Tree plot identifier with Experimental block (EXPBLOCK), Vegetation treatment (VEGTX), Organic matter treatment (OMATTERTX), and Grid point coordinates (GRID). Same as TREEPLOTTAG except without hyphens, spaces, or commas.
Domain: place
7. TREEID
Definition: Unique 14-character code specific to each tree: Experimental unit (4 characters), X-coordinate (3 chars), Y-coordinate (3 chars), Tree tag number (4 chars). Note: tree tags preceeded by an 'N' do not directly correspond to trees subsequently measured.
Domain: freetext
8. SPECIES
Definition: Plant species code from USDA Plants Database (changed to a common code, when codes have changed)
Domain: taxa
9. ORIGIN
Definition: Tree origin
Domain: enum
10. LIVEORDEAD
Definition: Live or Dead (Note alternate condition present in immediate post-wildfire trees)
Domain: enum
11. CROWNCLASS
Definition: Crown class
Domain: enum
12. SNAGSTAGE
Definition: Decay stage of standing snag
Domain: enum
13. TREESTATUS
Definition: Status of tree since last survey- whether preexisting (live or dead, standing or down, residual) or not (ingrowth) and whether mostly died after fire, then resprouted.
Domain: enum
14. DBH
Definition: Diameter at breast height (1.37 m) above ground, taken from the uphill side of the tree
Units: centimeters
Domain: range (minimum = 1.1  maximum = 136.6)
15. DBH_FLAG
Definition: Non-numerical entries (na, nm) for diameter at breast height (DBH)
Domain: enum
16. TREEHT
Definition: Tree height; measured from the base of the tree to the uppermost distinguishable top of the tree, even if the top was dead (not green)
Units: meters
Domain: range (minimum = 0.2  maximum = 47.1)
17. TREEHT_FLAG
Definition: Non-numerical entries (na, nm) for tree height (TRHT)

Units: number
Domain: range (minimum = 24.  maximum = 127.)
21. AGEBH_FLAG
Definition: Non-numerical entries (N, nm, Y) for age at breast height (AGEBH)
Domain: enum
22. DAMAGE1
Definition: Primary damage-causing agent; codes from USFS Region 6 Stand Examination Procedures (1991). First two numbers are the damage agent; third number indicates the severity of damage.
Domain: enum
24. DAMAGE2
Definition: Secondary damage-causing agent; codes from USFS Region 6 Stand Examination Procedures (1991). First two numbers are the damage agent; third number indicates the severity of damage.
Domain: enum
26. BAPERTREE
