Abstract

This data set reports the results of a field survey of the S1 Bog to characterize the vegetation and to determine peat depth. The survey was conducted on September 21 and 22, 2009. This initial survey of vegetation and peat depth characteristics of the target bog was conducted to evaluate the logical locations for installing replicated experimental blocks for SPRUCE. The goal was to identify multiple locations of uniform aboveground vegetation and belowground peat depth for positioning experimental units within the bog. The experimental work was conducted in a Picea mariana [black spruce] - Sphagnum spp. bog forest in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). There is one (*.csv) data file containing the vegetation survey data and observations, and the peat depth measurements. Also included are figures of the spatial distributions of vegetation survey and peat depth results (Vegetation_survey_2009_figures.pdf). Photos of the surveyed plots are included in several *.zip files.photos.

SPRUCE S1 Bog Peat Depth Determined by Push Probe and GPR: 2009-2010

Dataset Slater, L. ; Hanson, P. J. ; Hook, L. A.

This data set reports the thickness of peat for the S1 Bog measured directly with manual push probes on September 21 and 22, 2009, and measured by ground penetrating radar (GPR) across transects from January 26 to February 2, 2010 and June 2 to June 9, 2010. Also included are interpolated values of peat depth from both probe and GPR data for the S1 Bog at 1 meter square horizontal resolution.The key objectives of these geophysical field surveys were to define the S1 peat depth, basin geometry, and to provide additional subsurface information for selecting the optimal locations for experimentalmore »« less
SPRUCE S1 Bog Vegetation Allometric and Biomass Data: 2010-2011

Dataset Hanson, P. J. ; Brice, D. ; Garten, C. T. ; ...

This data set reports the results of measurements on sampled aboveground tissues of trees (Picea mariana and Larix laricina), shrubs (Ledum, Chamaedaphne, and Vaccinium), and ground layer vegetation (all species) of the S1 Bog located in areas adjacent to planned experimental study plots. Ground layer vegetation was sampled from both hummocks and hollows, within a 0.25 m2 plot, to evaluate total standing biomass of bog vegetation at or near the peak of annual production. Vegetation was harvested, processed, and measured in July of 2010 and again in June of 2011.
SPRUCE S1 Bog and SPRUCE Experiment Location Survey Results, 2015 and 2020

Dataset Griffiths, Natalie A. ; Hook, L. A. ; Hanson, P. J.

This data set provides results from two horizontal and vertical surveys (2015, 2020) of SPRUCE experimental infrastructure and measurement locations on the S1 bog on the Marcell Experimental Forest and the SPRUCE experimental site within the S1 bog. Measurements, both horizontal and vertical, are made to the nearest ~3 mm (0.01 foot), such that the resolution of the measurements is ± 3 mm. The first survey was performed in July, August, and September 2015. The second survey was performed in September and October 2020. The same locations were surveyed in both years. Benchmarks were set at the entrance to eachmore »« less

SPRUCE Diurnal and Seasonal Patterns of Water Potential in S1 Bog and SPRUCE Experimental Plot Vegetation beginning in 2010

Dataset Warren, Jeffery M. ; Peters, Jen M.R. ; Childs, Joanne ; ...

This data set reports on water potential from excised terminal shoots or leaves (Mainthemum only) of vegetation at the SPRUCE site located in the S1 bog. Pretreatment measurements were collected from outside plots within the S1 bog. Post treatments were collected from inside SPRUCE plots. Water potential was measured on the overstory canopy species, consisting of the evergreen Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. (black spruce) and deciduous Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch (tamarack) trees, and ericaceous shrubs < 1 m tall, consisting of the evergreen Rhododendron groenlandicum (Oeder) Kron & Judd (Labrador tea) and Chamaedaphne calyculata (L.) Moench.
