| Abstract: |
This data set contains meteorological measurements for a destructively
harvested transect 30 m to the east of the permanent transect from the center of the BBC collapse scar (0 m) into the surrounding fire scar (30 m) of the Survey Line Fire (burned in June-July 2001).
At the beginning of the 2003 growing season, we installed several meteorological instruments. We measured temperatures using copper-constantan theromocouples (Omega Engineering Inc., Stamford, CT, USA) at 5, 10 20, and 50 cm depth on the east and west side of the boardwalk at 0, 10 (west side only) 20, and 30 m distance along the transect. We measured air temperature using PVC radiation shields at 30, 60, 120, and 240 cm height above the ground surface. We measured soil moisture using EC-20 ECH2O dielectric aquameter probes (Decagon Devices Inc., Pullman, WA, USA) at 16 points along the transect at 30, 28, 26, 24, 18, 16, 14, and 12 m on the east and west side of the boardwalk at 10 cm depth. To measure rain, we installed a TE 525MM tipping bucket rain gauge (Texas Electronics Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) at 2m on the tower. To measure water level, we installed a Druck21 PDCR 1830-8388 submersible pressure transducer (5 psi range, Druck Inc., New Fairfield, CT, USA) inserted 60 cm below the soil surface, down an 11 cm interior diameter PVC well at 30m along the transect. We measured photosynthetically active radiation with Apogee quantum sensors (Apogee Instruments Inc., Logan, UT, USA) at 30, 60, 120, and 240 cm above the soil surface. To monitor changes in thaw depth, we probed the soil at each visit (every one to two weeks throughout the growing season), every 3 m along both the east and west sides of the transect.

BBC collapse scar -- The BBC collapse scar is located in Interior Alaska, USA, adjacent to the Bonanza Creek LTER on the south side of the Tanana River, approximately half way between Fairbanks and Nenana. The scar is located 0.5 km south of the river bank in a low lying black spruce tussock dominated wetland that was burned in June-July 2001 by the Survey Line fire.
