Abstract

This data set provides a record of the half-hourly automated water table depth data collected for 12 SPRUCE plots (4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21) beginning during deep peat heating (DPH) in 2015 and continuing throughout the whole ecosystem warming (WEW) manipulations for the SPRUCE Project (Hanson et al. 2017). The data currently cover 2015-05-12 through 2024-12-31 and will be updated periodically throughout the duration of the SPRUCE project. Also provided are daily plot normalized data for water table depths with respect to mean hollow locations within each plot. The hollow referenced data provide the basis for the intercomparison of peat saturation or aeration across treatment plots. A limited data set for manual water table observations made periodically from 2015-2022 are also provided as a reference to the plot center automated observations. In August 2015, WEW was initiated at 5 warming levels (+0, +2. +4.5, +6.75 and +9 °C) with 2 plots per warming level. DPH measurements were underway before the initiation of WEW heating treatments and both are expected to operate through 2025. Elevated CO2 treatments were added in June 2016 (Enclosures 4, 10, 11, 16 and 19). All measurements weremore »« less

SPRUCE Hollow Elevation Data for Experimental Plots Beginning in 2015

Dataset Griffiths, N. A. ; Sebestyen, S. D.

This data set provides hollow elevation data for the 17 SPRUCE experimental plots in the S1 bog on the Marcell Experimental Forest. Hollows were selected for measurement by walking along each octagonal boardwalk segment in a plot and identifying where a hollow intersected the boardwalk. The vertical distance between the surface of the boardwalk (with a known elevation) and the surface of the hollow was measured and the absolute elevation (in meters amsl) of the hollow surface was calculated. The hollow elevation measurements were carried out in October 2015, May 2016, October 2016, April 2017, and August 2018. These measurementsmore »« less
SPRUCE Terrestrial Laser Scanning of Experimental Plots, Beginning in 2015

Dataset Graham, Jake D. ; Glenn, Nancy F. ; Spaete, Lucas P. ; ...

This data set comprises terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds from the SPRUCE experimental plots located in the S1-Bog of the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) near Grand Rapids, Minnesota. In 2015 and 2020 the 12 experimental SPRUCE plots were scanned near peak foliage ("summer”). In 2016-2019 and 2021-2023 the 12 plots were scanned prior to green up ("spring”) and once near peak foliage (Table 1). Additional data will be added through summer 2025. A RIEGL VZ-1000 unit was used to collect all scans. Four TLS scans in each plot were registered to produce a single point cloud per plot usingmore »« less
SPRUCE Vertical Profiles of CO2 and H2O Concentrations in Air in Experimental Plots Beginning in 2015

Dataset Hanson, P.J. ; Nettles, W.R. ; Riggs, J.S. ; ...

This dataset provides a record of hourly average CO2 and H2O concentrations in air at 4 vertical locations (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 m above ground level (agl)) on the central tower location for each of 13 SPRUCE experimental plots. Ten plots have enclosures (plots 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 20) and three plots (5, 7 and 21) are ambients without enclosures. Data are included for measurement periods beginning in 2015 and extend throughout the whole ecosystem warming (WEW) manipulations for the SPRUCE Project (Hanson et al. 2016, 2017). In August 2015, WEW was initiatedmore »« less
SPRUCE Tree Growth Assessments of Picea and Larix in S1-Bog Plots and SPRUCE Experimental Plots, Beginning in 2011, Version 2

Dataset Hanson, Paul J. ; Phillips, Jana Randolph ; Wullschleger, Stan D ; ...

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 nominalmore »« less
SPRUCE Shrub-Layer Growth Assessments in S1-Bog Plots and SPRUCE Experimental Plots beginning in 2010

Dataset Hanson, Paul J. ; Birkebak, Joshua M. ; Phillips, Jana R. ; ...

This data set reports shrub layer growth assessments for the S1-Bog on the Marcell Experimental Forest in Minnesota from 2010 through 2023 (2010-08-01 to 2023-08-31, no data were collected in 2020 and 2022). Data were obtained by destructively harvesting selected plots of varying number and size. In early years a distinct hummock and a hollow sampling square were both collected, but in later years unsampled hollow areas became unavailable due to prior sampling or instrument installations. Harvested samples were broken down species, tissue type (leaf or stem/), and by whether tissue was from the current year’s growth or growth frommore »« less
