Alaskan Peatland Experiment: Community structure and productivity data for 2007-2010 IX - Stem Density

This dataset contains stem density counts for each species within sub-collar plots (5 per collar) with the gas flux collars at each plot and site of the Alaskan Peatland Experiment. Stem counts were started at the fen in 2008, while counts started at the bog in 2009. Within the fen site a water table manipulation has been ongiong since 2005, with control, lowered and raised water table treatment plots. Samples at the bog were collected in a plot established within the lowland black spruce permafrost plateau (permafrost), 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. The data provided in this data set can be sorted by site and plot.
