Great Smoky Mountains National Park American Beech Monitoring

This database includes ratings of branch dieback, defoliation, beech scale and presence of Nectria spp. on high elevation American beech at least 3.5 cm in diameter in ten 20m x 20m plots established in 1994 and evaluated every two years until 2012. Dieback and defoliation ratings of non-beech woody stems larger than 3.5 cm in diameter and counts of seedlings and woody stem regeneration by species in subplots are also included.
