Raw microclimate data from plots at burned areas from the 2020 Holiday Farm fire in the Andrews Experimental Forest and Hagan Block, 2022-2024

This dataset includes a suite of microclimate sensor data from areas burned by the 2020 Holiday Farm fire within the McKenzie River basin. A total of 42 microclimate sensor suites were installed in July and August of 2022 distributed across RS01, RS08, RS15, WS02, WS09, WS01, HGBK. All sensor locations are within the Holiday Farm Fire footprint and within Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs). An additional sensor was placed within the Primary meteorological station (PRIMET) of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest for comparison and calibration between open-air measurements. Sites are stratified across three treatment variables including 1) fire severity: high or low; 2) management: managed or unmanaged; 3) water balance: moister or drier topographic positions. This resulted in eight treatment blocks, each with 5 sensor suite replicates. Each microclimate site includes a suite of measurements: Hobo temperature and relative humidity sensor installed at 1.5m within a gill shield (recording at 30 minute interval), one TOMST TMS-4 temperature and soil moisture sensor was located within 1 m of plot center (recording at 15 minute interval). The TOMST sensors include air temperature sensors at 15cm, 2cm, and soil temperature at -6cm in soil near-surface. Soil moisture is measured across the ~10cm near surface zone.
