Vielsalm

Fluxnet Information
Site Name:	Vielsalm
Description:	In 1882, the stand was sparsely planted with Scots pine. Beeches were planted in 1908 in the undercover. In the same year, four 100 m^2 circular plots of silver fir were planted. Douglas firs were planted in 1935 and 1937 and in 1950, 1960, and 1961 to Planted stand with traditional forest management
Status:	Active, core measurements presently being made
