    This data was used in fitting diameter growth models for a historical silviculture study in lowland black spruce. It consists of an initial diameter and second diameter 9-11 years after the initial measurement for 10,231 black spruce trees. Also included are other key individual tree and stand-level variables used in formulating the diameter growth model, and the treatment associated with each tree, plot, and compartment.

    Restoration of the 1936 Statewide Forest Survey of Minnesota
    (2016-09-16) Flanary, Merril H; Anderson, Brian D; Wilson, David C; Ek, Alan R; aek@umn.edu; Ek, Alan R
    Long-term forest plot datasets have proven invaluable for understanding the changing conditions and ecology across Minnesota’s 17.3 million acres of forestland. Data from past and present USDA Forest Service (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program efforts are of high quality and are informed by thousands of field plot observations for each survey. The aim of this study was to locate historic forest records for Minnesota, identify useful data, and develop methodologies for digitizing and restoring data to a usable format.
