Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment (CCASE) at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Sap Flow

Sap flow was measured on all Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment
(CCASE) plots. There are six plots total (each 11 x 14m). Two are
warmed 5 degrees C throughout the growing season (Plots 3 and 4). Two
others are warmed 5 degrees C in the growing season and have snow
removed during winter to induce soil freezing and then warming cables
turn on to create thaws; Each soil freeze/thaw cycles includes
72-hours of soil freezing followed by 72-hours of thaw (Plots 5 and
6). Four kilometers (2.5 mi) of heating cable are buried in the soil
to warm these four plots. Two additional plots serve as controls for
our experiment (Plots 1 and 2). This data set includes sap flow
measurements for 2015 and 2017 growing seasons. These sap flow data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook
Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the
Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by
the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
