Site Location and Environmental Characteristics for 83 Locations of 6-163 Years Old Black Spruce, Alaska Paper Birch, and Aspen Stands Accoss Interior Alaska. Sampled in 2008-2010 and 2013-2015.

This dataset contains the GPS location, slope, orientation, elevation, forest type based on dominant tree biomass, Age, sampling year, total vascular cover, total lchen cover, deciduous index (Alexander et al. 2012, Ecosphere), basal area of black spruce, Alaska paper birch, trembling aspen, large deciduous shrubs and trembling aspen, organic layer depth, pH, heatload, approximated moisture class for all sites (Johnstone et al. 2008), gravimetric moisture content, and volumetric moisture content. This dataset was part of the site-level covariates used in a study of bryophyte post-fire succession in deciduous and coniferous successional trajectories. NOTE: there is some overlap between the >20 years old sites that were sampled by Heather Alexander with some of the data she submitted in relation to her 2012 Ecosphere paper.
