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).

PlotViewID

additional plot protocol identifier useful to indicate if the plot protocol has changed and/or different soil type/disturbance... (This was created to accommodate ForestPlots network).

PlotLat

Plot's latitude in degrees

PlotLon

Plot's longitude in degrees
