| Abstract: |
This dataset contains the hourly output from Temperature sensors for the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF). Any temperature data collected in this area is reported here. This includes Level 3 weather stations as well as smaller scale and temporal studies. This data can be sorted and viewed by site, year, hour, height of measurement, mean, min, and max value. Updates of each site are different since some are still on going while other had only a 2-3 year life cycle. This information can be found in the site descriptions and in the metadata.

FP1A -- FP1A is located on a low early successional terrace (1.8 - 2 m above winter low river level) adjacent to the Tanana River. Vegetation establishment occurred in 1982 to 1983. Significant bank erosion has occurred since the establishment of the study area, resulting in loss of some study plots.
FP2A -- FP2A is located adjacent to the LTER-2 weather station on a terrace that formed ca 1965.
FP3A -- Mixed Balsam Poplar and White Spruce (Open Populus balsamifera-Picea glauca community)
FP4A -- Mature white spruce
FP5A -- Black spruce
FP5C -- FP5C is located on an older terrace of the Tanana River on the south side of the river opposite Sam Charley island
LTER1 -- 100 (LTER1) is the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest's primary upland weather station. More intensive climate data is collected at this station than the other upland stations.
LTER2 -- LTER2, the second Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest full weather station, was established to monitor the climate of the floodplain region of BCEF.
This site is located adjacent to the Tanana River in BCEF.
UP1A -- UP1A was established to follow the development of vegetation following the burning of a well developed 200 year old white spruce stand on a south facing slope. The vegetation has progressed from an herbaceous community following the fire to an open hardwood stand.
UP2A -- Closed Mixed White Spruce - Paper Birch Stand
UP3A -- Mature white spruce spruce stand on a south-facing slope
