Title:Alaska 2004 Burns: Environmental and stand data for sites located in the 2004 burns off the Steese, Taylor, and Dalton Highways, collected in 2005-2007
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This dataset contains site-level descriptions of environmental data (latitude, slope, aspect, moisture, soil pH and texture), pre-fire stand characteristics (tree density and basal area by species), and fire conditions from the 2004 fires (estimates of canopy and surface fire severity, including CBI, plus estimated stand age, date of burning, and distances to live seed sources). Each sample unit represents a site, and values often are site-level means of sub-samples. These data provide an initial baseline of environmental and fire conditions that can be used in interpreting long-term patterns of vegetation responses at the sites.

Definition:This is the fire complex that the site is located in.A unique site number assigned to each plot (values are between 1 and 92). Site 100 has been reassigned to site 42. Sites 21 and 22 were deleted from the study due to permitting problems.Each site is assigned to one of three types: int=intensive (sites with seedling plantings and exclosures), ext=extensive (no experimental plantings or veg monitoring plots), treeline=similar to intensive but without seedling exclosures.Values are listed only for intensive sites, and assigned to moist or dry based on the original factorial design.Values are listed only for intensive sites, and assigned to high or low based on the original factorial design.Ranking of site moisture potential using the moisture key presented in the successional trajectories workbook. Values determined by JJ during field surveys in 2008.Average of TDR probe measurements taken in July 2005 (10 points/site). The TDR probe was inserted into the surface of the mineral soil (probe length is 12 cm). Values are missing for sites with frozen mineral soil or very rocky soils.Average of TDR probe measurements taken in June 2008 by JJ (5 points/site). The TDR probe was inserted at a 45 degree angle into the surface of the mineral soil (probe length is 12 cm). Where the mineral soil was frozen, measurements were made in organic soil.Elevation in m, as recorded on the original site assessment sheets, based on GPS readings.Latitude in decimal degrees, as recorded on the original site assessment sheets based on GPS readings (using NAD 83 as datum)Longitude in decimal degrees, as recorded on the original site assessment sheets based on GPS readings (using NAD 83 as datum)Slope in degrees. Original values taken from TNH vegetation plot records, later revised based on new inclinometer measurements made by Jill Johnstone's crew in 2008.Slope aspect in compass degrees (0 to 360), taken from compass readings made in 2008 (corrected for declination).Soil pH, measured from near-surface mineral soil samples (where mineral soils could be sampled), collected in 2005-2006. Analyses done by Palmer lab and Leslie Boby. N=4 to 5 for intensive sites, n=1 for extensive sitesPercent sand, based on texture analysis of near-surface mineral soil (Palmer lab). Only one sample per site.Percent silt, based on texture analysis of near-surface mineral soil (Palmer lab). Only one sample per site.Percent clay, based on texture analysis of near-surface mineral soil (Palmer lab). Only one sample per site.Texture classes estimated in the initial site assessment were ranked from coarse to fine (1 to 5)Hillslope position classes, based on the original site assessment (site photos were used to fill in missing data). Classes are in order of decreasing moisture.Date of burning in 2004, based on Modis Hotspot data (from Dave Verbyla).Date of burning in 2004, based on Modis Hotspot data (from Dave Verbyla). These are the same data as previous column, but represented as Julian days.Normalized Burn Ratio, estimated from satellite data (from Dave Verbyla). We used dNBR data from early September 2004 images (TC=9 Sept, DC=3 Sept, BF=6 Sept).This is a rough ranking of surface fire severity, compiled by Jill Johnstone based on the initial site assessment. Numerical index of ranking of surface fire severity, ranking from 1 (low) to 5 (high)Percent tree mortality at the site, from the initial site assessment.Ranking of stand-level tree canopy consumption or canopy severity.Estimated percent of canopy consumption by the fire (tree boles excluded). Leslie Boby dataset. Based on unpublished allometric equations for canopy biomass components that are estimated from basal diameter, and % loss of each biomass category observed per tree in the field.Proportion of standing trees, calculated on the basis of basal area. Data from Leslie Boby. Calculations are for black and white spruce pooled together.Proportion of standing trees, calculated on the basis of the number of tree stems. Data from Leslie Boby. Calculations are for black and white spruce pooled together.Estimated time since last fire, based on the youngest cluster of >2 stems with ages that are within 10 years of each other. Based on 5 basal stem disks sampled per site.Estimated age of the oldest tree, which is may estimate the time since stand-replacement fire. This age may be greater than time since last fire if the last fire left some survivors. An index of the distribution of the pre-fire stand recruitment ages, based on 5 samples. Total CBI score following standard procedures for the Composite Burn Index (data collected by Andi Ruth, July 2005). Data are missing for several plots. Scale is from 0-3, with 3 being highest severity.CBI score for understory component only. Scale is from 0-3, with 3 being highest severity.CBI score for overstory component only. Scale is from 0-3, with 3 being highest severity.CBI score for substrate component only. Scale is from 0-3, with 3 being highest severity.Residual (postfire) organic layer depth (cm), measured at 11 random points per site by Leslie Boby in 2006. Missing data for DC33 and BF92 filled in by Jill Johnstone in 2007.Estimated pre-fire depth of the organic layer (cm), based on post-fire depth, corrected using adventitious root data (Leslie Boby dataset).Estimated fire consumption of the organic layer, based on comparisons of estimated pre-fire depth and measured residual depth (Leslie Boby dataset).Percentage of soil sample points (usually n=22) at a site with organic layer depths of less than 3 cm.Surface cover of bare organics, as a percentage of 60 point-intercept samples/site in 2006 (Jill Johnstone dataset).Surface cover of colonizing mosses (Marchantia, Polytrichum, and Ceratadon-type mosses), as a percentage of 60 point-intercept samples/site in 2006 (Jill Johnstone dataset).Surface cover of dead scorched moss (feathermosses and Sphagnum), as a percentage of 60 point-intercept samples/site in 2006 (Jill Johnstone dataset).Postfire nitrogen pool from the soil organic layer (kg/m2), calculated from remaining organic layer depths, burn site bulk densities, and nitrogen concentrations for different soil layers. If the horizon was fully intact (ie. not burned at all), then mean unburned site values were used for that horizon.Postfire carbon pool from the soil organic layer (kg/m2), calculated from remaining organic layer depths, burn site bulk densities, and carbon concentrations for different soil layers. If the horizon was fully intact (ie. not burned at all), then mean unburned site values were used for that horizon.Estimated density of black spruce trees per m2 for the pre-fire stand. Based on measurements were made by Leslie Boby in 2006 and Jill and Leslie in 2008. Sample areas were 60 sq. m for extensive sites, and 120 sq. m for extensive sites.

Description:

Experimental Design

In May of 2005, we established 90 study sites that burned between 19 June and 28 August, 2004 to monitor post-fire vegetation recovery. Field sites were selected in a stratified haphazard fashion to encompass the full range of fire severity and site moisture conditions present within the 2004 burns. The study sites were approximately equally distributed among three large fire complexes along the Taylor, Steese, and Dalton Highways in interior Alaska. Sites were located 50-600 m from the road in areas that were dominated by black spruce before burning. These sites included black spruce community subtypes ranging from moist acidic or non-acidic forests with an understory dominated by Eriophorum vaginatum tussocks, to non-acidic dry forests and elevational black spruce treeline (Hollingsworth et al. 2006). Tree mortality assessed in 2005 ranged from 30-100%, with most sites (82/90) having at least 95% canopy mortality. A subset of 39 sites was selected for intensive study, and the remaining 51 sites were designated as extensive sites.

Methods

At each site we selected and permanently marked a 30x30 m sample area that was representative of a large (at least 0.25 ha) relatively homogeneous burned stand. We measured environmental conditions at all sites in 2005. Elevation, latitude, and longitude were measured at the plot center point with a hand-held GPS, and slope and aspect using a compass and hand-held inclinometer. Site moisture classes were estimated on a 6-point scale, ranging from xeric to sub-hygric, based on topography-controlled drainage conditions and adjusted for soil texture and presence of near-surface permafrost. Stand characteristics of the pre-fire forest were measured in 2006 in 2 parallel belt-transects that were 30 m in length and either 1 or 2 m in width for extensive and intensive sites, respectively. For each pre-fire tree rooted within the belt-transect, we measured the diameter at breast height (DBH) if the stem was over 1.4 m height, or tallied the number of stems for stems under 1.4 m height. Species were distinguished by trunk, branch, and cone morphology. Stems that branched above the ground surface were counted as a single stem, and the largest was measured for DBH. Fallen stems were included if originally rooted in the plot. Trees considered to be dead prior to the 2004 fire - based on extensive charring of the sapwood - were excluded from the analysis. From these data we calculated the total density (stems per ha, including all heights) and tree basal area (stem area per ha of trees >1.4 m height) of each tree species in the pre-fire stand. To obtain an estimate of stand age, we obtained ring counts from 5 black spruce trees that were dominant or sub-dominant in the pre-fire tree canopy. Stem disks were sampled as close to the stem base as possible, dried, and sanded. Rings were then counted under a binocular microscope. We estimated the distance from the plot edge to the nearest unburned individual or stand of >100 live trees by pacing distances less than 200 m or visually estimating (calibrated with measured road distances) for distances greater than 200 m. We measured fire severity in May-June 2005 using two ordinal metrics: 1) a canopy-severity index that estimated canopy consumption, and 2) the Composite Burn Index (Key and Benson 2005) that estimated mortality and consumption within surface, understory, and canopy layers of the forest stand. Our canopy severity index was estimated visually for canopy dominant and sub-dominant trees, where 1 = low consumption, with many brown or green needles remaining; 2 = low to moderate, with few needles but most small twigs remaining; 3 = moderate, with few small twigs remaining but many branches; 4 = moderate to high, with many lower canopy branches consumed; and 5 = high, with most branches and cones consumed. The Composite Burn Index (CBI) is a semi-quantitative index that has advocated as a synthetic metric for measuring fire severity in burned forests and is described by Key and Benson (2005). We also measured in 2006 two quantitative of post-fire seedbeds, which are affected by fire severity: organic layer thickness and organic layer cover. The depth of the residual, post-fire organic layer was measured at 11 randomly-selected points along a transect through the site. Relative cover of bare organic seedbeds (burned fibric and humic layers and dead moss) was recorded using point-intercept samples with 60 points per site.
