NEMO Data Depository
Harry Wiant made a very good suggestion of using the NEMO website as a data
depository for those who would like to share their field data. We are glad to
host the effort for at least a trial run to see how it works out. This could be
an enormous help for anyone looking for good data on any range of subjects. In
addition, if there are web pages already hosting data that we might simply link
to, please do not hesitate to let us know.
If you want to provide data for the site, please provide enough information
about the study and the format of the data file so that people can actually
figure it out! Please use Harry's biomass file as an example; the comments
below are also included at the top of his file for self-documentation and we
would encourage that in future submissions. We will also link to the provider's
email so any questions on the data sets can be asked directly of the
"authors."
WVU Biomass Study Data: Harry Wiant
Note: The following data are from biomass studies done by various
graduate students at
WVU under the direction of Harry
V. Wiant, Jr. The articles for which this data were

The data columns are
species (1=north. red oak, 2=scarlet oak, 3=black oak, 4=hickory,

12=cucumbertree, 13=aspen), tree number, dbh, total tree height, ht to section,
diameter
outside bark, diameter inside bark.

File Submission...
Perhaps we can work something better out in the future depending upon the
amount of usage, but for now, please send any requests to post data to: jhgove
