Summary:

The Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) Terrestrial Ecology Team #9 (TE-09) provided several data sets containing information about the state and response of boreal forest tree species. This data set contains information on the spatial density of chlorophyll in the leaves of three boreal tree species collected at five different sites at various times during 1994.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at http://daac.ornl.gov/boreas/TE/te09cd/comp/TE09_Chlorophyll.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
