Alaskan Peatland Experiment: Community structure and productivity data for 2007-2010 I - Species List

This dataset lists all vascular plants present at the Alaska Peatland Experiment identified as of fall 2010. Non vascular plant growth forms are also included, as well as the relative location for each species or growth form. Data can be sorted by species, growth form or location. Two peatland types are represented; a bog and a fen . Within the fen site a water table manipulation has been ongiong since 2005, with control, lowered and raised water table treatment plots. At the bog there is a plot established within the lowland black spruce permafrost plateau, and two plots established within collapse scars embedded within the plateau. One collapse scar formed ~ 45 years ago (old collapse) and the other formed ~ 25 years ago based upon aerial photography provided by the BCEF LTER.
