- Date, DateOriginal
Date of measurement
- Site
Site level name
- Cluster
Cluster ID or name (This was created to accommodate ForestPlots network's cluster, which groups similar plots and is used by their data packages to create local allometries. Note that it is useful to also keep Site (PlotName) so as users able to check for duplicate datasets from multiple networks).
