Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Experimental Design

At each site, two plots ~10 meters apart were established that measured 12.19 x 12.19 meters (40 x 40 feet) and were visually similar in vegetation composition and density. A 1 meter wide buffer was established around the inside edge of each plot where no measurements were taken. 20 individuals of each tree species were tagged. In each plot (excluding site BF84), two randomly placed line transects spanning the length of the plot were established. The three closest individuals (one of each species) were then tagged at each 1 meter mark along the transect. Due to low density of saplings in BF84, four transects in each plot were established; saplings were selected at every 2 meter mark.

Methods

FIELD: Exclosures were set-up in 2013 with measurements on tagged saplings taken in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Exclosures are 1.82 m tall and constructed of chain-linked fence panels that prevented access by moose and hare throughout the year. There are 20 individuals of each species in each plot (paired inside or outside exclosure plots) at a total of 6 sites.
