This data set reports tree growth measurements of mature Picea mariana and Larix laricina located in the S1-Bog permanent plots and the SPRUCE experimental study plots. Data have been collected annually from 2011 to 2024 (2011-02-23 to 2024-02-26) in late February/ early March to capture the productivity of the previous growing season (i.e. the February 2024 measurements track the 2023 growing season). Data collections are anticipated to continue through February of 2026 and this data set will be appended annually. Initial observations in 2011 included measurements of circumference at 1.3 m (diameter at breast height assessments; DBH) above the nominal bog hollow surface, tree heights and crown diameters. Subsequent annual measurements have focused on the measures of circumference at DBH. Supplemental tree height data collected via terrestrial lidar (Graham et al. 2019) were initiated in 2016 and have been maintained annually. Circumference measurements to the nearest 0.1 cm are converted to DBH in cm and basal area at DBH in (cm2). Tree height and crown diameter are measured to the nearest 0.1 m. This dataset contains one data file in comma separate (*.csv) format. User Note: In this Version 2, some previously released ‘Circum_Status’ values were updated to fix misread field measurements in previous years. The new data file, SPRUCE_Tree_Growth_Archive_20240620.csv, supersedes and replaces the previous, SPRUCE_Tree_Growth_Archive_20230327.csv.
