Zach quadrat This is an example of a quadrat placed in the woods of South Berwick, ME during the fall of 2006. All data are collect from within the three-dimensional space of the cube. These data include, but are not limited to: temperature, wind speed, light intensity/duration and CO2 levels. 43° 13'25.10" N 70° 48' 20.9" W
