    Database:

    4) The GDI database, as of March 20, 2008, contained 113,500 distinct NPP observations from five sites, and was 73 MB in size, approx. 4,126,700 grams measured over 20 years in 1697 plots. It is now available upon request from Lee Zeman (zemanl@evergreen.edu) or Kristin Vanderbilt (vanderbi@sevilleta.unm.edu), assuming the Jornada scientists will release it to the requester.
