Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment (CCASE) Sapling Study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Soil and Air Temperature

Soil temperature was measured on all Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment (CCASE)
sapling treatment plots. There were seven treatments for each species of maple.
For each species, ten saplings experienced ambient temperatures (reference), ten
experienced growing season warming with no induced freeze-thaw cycles in winter (warmed),
ten in each of four groups experienced warming in the growing season coupled with two, four,
six, or eight soil freeze-thaw cycles in winter (warmed + 2 FTC, warmed + 4 FTC, warmed + 6 FTC,
warmed + 8 FTC), and ten experienced snow removal in winter with ambient temperatures in the growing-season (snow removal).
