STEM RECORD METADATA
plotNumber: Plot number
Transect: Transect on which the stem was observed.  PSP and mapped tree plots have transects that are contiguous, seedling and sapling plots have discontiguous transects.
plotStemID: Stem ID that is unique only within the plot
ClonePlotStemID: Unique PlotStemID of parent stem of a clone (usually the first measured) This does NOT reference globalStemID
SpeciesCode: 4-letter species code for the species of the stem.  These code are translated into scientific names in another export.
ScientificName: Full scientific name of the species
X: X coordinate of the stem.
Y: Y coordinate of the stem.
Year: Year the stem was observed in yearly data.
conditionCode: 1 = alive and reasonably intact, 2 = dead (confirmed as such by the presence of a dead stem), 3 = missing (presumed dead, but no stem could be found for verification), 4  die back to below breast height (a marginal note was usually made indicating the possible cause of damage), 5  cut (sawed down by humans), 6  Damage from Hurricane (see special hurricane fields), Missing value = not a tree or not observed.
SaplingDiameter: Diameter at breast height (1.37m above ground level), in mm
SaplingHeight: Sapling height, in cm
