SPEC Lab collaborations with, and data collection of, ForestGeo sites have been ongoing since 2013, with open-source R scripts developed by the SPEC Lab for analysis of bioclimatic and land-use variables around ForestGeo sites globally being shared at Harvard Dataverse (link here) for analyses in the 2014 Teixeira-Anderson et al. overview paper of the plot network titled "CTFS-ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change" published in Global Change Biology. Since then, GatorEye team has worked to collect data at as many ForestGeo sites as possible to facilitate ongoing and upcoming comparison studies, funded principally though SPECLab internal research funds, and with partial funding support for some data collections from NASA, NSF, USDA McIntire-Stennis, and others. Data for ForestGeo and GatorEye can be accessed at their respective (ForestGeo / GatorEye) publically accessible data download portals, with their similar terms and conditions adhering to a globally recognized standard for publicly shared datasets, as illustrated by the following examples. In many cases, data of ForestGeo plots is simultaneously done as part of the BigPlotNetwork, which is a widely distributed multi-temporal network of larger area GatorEye data collects.
To enhance collaborations and comparisons we include a ForestGeo specific processing status table (link here).
