Alaskan Peatland Experiment: Community structure and productivity data for 2007-2010 III - Understory Biomass

This dataset contains understory aboveground biomass data from a destructive harvest performed in 2009 at the Alaskan peatland experiment. Two peatland types are included, a bog site and a fen site. 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.
