Title: SPRUCE Environmental Monitoring Data: 2010-2016

Dataset ·

This data set reports selected ambient environmental monitoring data from the S1 bog for the period June 2010 through December 2016. Measurements of the environmental conditions at these stations serve as a pre-treatment baseline for experimental treatments and provide driver data for future modeling activities. There are/were three monitoring sites located in the bog: Stations 1 and 2 are co-located at the southern end of the bog and Station 3 is located north central and adjacent to an existing U.S. Forest Service monitoring well. The stations are equipped with standard sensors for measuring meteorological parameters, solar radiation, soil temperature and moisture, and groundwater temperature and elevation. All measurements were made at the 8.1-ha S1 bog forest site in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). See Table 1 for a list of measurements.
