SPRUCE S1 Bog Environmental Monitoring Data: 2010-2016

This data set reports selected ambient environmental monitoring data from the S1 bog in Minnesota for the period June 2010 through December 2016. Measurements of the environmental conditions at these stations will serve as a pre-treatment baseline for experimental treatments and provide driver data for future modeling activities. The site is the S1 bog, a Picea mariana [black spruce] – Sphagnum spp. bog forest in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). There are/were three monitoring sites located in the bog: Stations 1 and 2 are co-located at the southern end of the bog and Station 3 is located north central and adjacent to an existing U.S. Forest Service monitoring well. There are eight data files with selected results of ambient environmental monitoring in the S1 bog for the period June 2010 through December 2016. One file has the other seven have the available data for a given calendar year. Not all measurements started in June 2010 and EM3 measurements ended in May 2014.
