Tree regeneration after fire: Yukon Lodgepole Pine Surveys, organic soil analysis

This dataset documents pre- and post-fire tree composition of stands along the current range edge of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia) in the Yukon Territory. The objective of the study was to evaluate whether pine populations at the range edge appear to be expanding in association with fire disturbance.

This dataset has been published as: Jill F. Johnstone and F. Stuart Chapin, 2003. Non-equilibrium succession dynamics indicate continued northern migration of lodgepole pine. Global Change Biology, 9(10): 1401-1409.

Contains measurements of organic soil depth sampled along transects.

本数据集记录了加拿大育空地区当前扭叶松（Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia）分布范围边缘沿线林分的火烧前与火烧后林木组成情况。本研究的目标为评估分布范围边缘的松树种群是否会伴随火灾扰动发生扩张。
