Abstract:

This dataset contains the GPS location, slope, orientation, elevation, forest type based on dominant tree biomass, Age, sampling year, total vascular cover, total lchen cover, deciduous index (Alexander et al. 2012, Ecosphere), basal area of black spruce, Alaska paper birch, trembling aspen, large deciduous shrubs and trembling aspen, organic layer depth, pH, heatload, approximated moisture class for all sites (Johnstone et al. 2008), gravimetric moisture content, and volumetric moisture content. This dataset was part of the site-level covariates used in a study of bryophyte post-fire succession in deciduous and coniferous successional trajectories. NOTE: there is some overlap between the >20 years old sites that were sampled by Heather Alexander with some of the data she submitted in relation to her 2012 Ecosphere paper.

Description:

Experimental Design

This series of sites was selected to obtained sufficient replication for black spruce, Alaska paper birch and aspen stands in each age category, i.e. 8-19, 20-63, and >63 years after fire).

Methods

FIELD: In each stand, we positioned a 100-m long transect perpendicular to the slope or used a random compass bearing if the ground was flat (see Jean et al. 2017 Canadian Journal of Forest Research for more info). The methods used to measure stand structure are presented in more detail in Alexander et al. (2012). Basal diameter (BD) and diameter at breast height (DBH) of all living and dead trees and large shrubs were recorded within 1 m on each side of the transect over a 10 m section for every 20 m subsection. In some instances, this area was reduced to allow measurements of very dense early-successional stands. In stands > 20 years old, we collected a core or a basal disk from 10 trees of the dominant canopy species to confirm stand age. Allometric equations from Alexander et al. (2012) and Berner et al. (2015) were used to estimate above ground biomass of individual trees species and tall shrubs (Salix spp., Betula spp., and Alnus spp.). All stands were attributed to a forest type (black spruce, Alaska paper birch, or aspen) based on the dominant contribution of tree species to total woody biomass. Organic layer thickness (litter, bryophyte, fibric, and humic), mineral soil texture (only in stands sampled in 2013-2014), and pH were measured every 10 m along the transect. Soil moisture was measured using a ECH2O EC-TM soil moisture probe read by an Em50 data logger (Decagon Devices Inc., Pullman, WA, U.S.A.) next to the soil sampling core in all the stands sampled by Alexander et al. (2012). Soil moisture could not be measured in the early-successional stands in 2013 and 2014, but a general drainage class was recorded for each stand (Johnstone et al. 2008). A drainage class was estimated for older stands using topography and soil moisture data. Finally, we recorded slope, aspect, and GPS coordinates of each transect, and calculated a heatload index (McCune and Keon 2002).
