Cloquet Forestry Center permanent plot records 1959-1976 : status report and plans for remeasurement.

The Cloquet Forestry Center continuous forest inventory is one of the most extensive data sets of its kind in the Lake States. Numerous studies ranging from reproduction sampling analyses to the testing of growth projection models have been based on this data. This report describes the sampling design, observed variables and past analyses of the survey plus data management problems that affect its utility. Summary statistics are also presented for various cover type aggregates for past measurement dates. A discussion of forest development over time is followed with plans for the 1982 remeasurement.Research supported by the College of Forestry and the Agricultural Experiment Station, Institute of Agriculture, Forestry, and Home Economics, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN.
