SPRUCE Ground Observations of Phenology in Experimental Plots, 2018

Dataset ·

This data set consists of phenological transition dates, as derived from direct observations of vegetative and reproductive phenology recorded by a human observer, from the SPRUCE experiment during 2018, the third full year of whole-ecosystem warming (Hanson et al. 2017). Both spring and autumn phenological events are included.

Since April 2016, human observers have been directly tracking the phenology of both woody and herbaceous species on a weekly schedule within the SPRUCE experimental chambers. The observed date report here is the first survey date on which an event/phenophase was definitively observed.

The SPRUCE experiment is located within the S1 peat bog at the Marcell Experimental Forest, approximately 40 km north of Grand Rapids in north-central Minnesota, USA.

User note: Ground observations of phenology from 2016-2020 are available. See SPRUCE Ground Observations of Phenology in Experimental Plots, 2021 https://doi.org/10.25581/spruce.094/1874936 for the most recent data as well as links to all other ground phenology datasets.
