AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F CA-SF3 Saskatchewan - Western Boreal, forest burned in 1998

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-SF3 Saskatchewan - Western Boreal, forest burned in 1998. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-SF3 Saskatchewan - Western Boreal, forest burned in 1998 produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The 1998 burn site (F98) was in the east part of
Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, in the
Waskesiu Fire, ignited by lightning that burned about
1700 ha in July 1998. The pre-fire forest consisted of
jack pine and black spruce stands, with some intermixed
aspen. The fire was severe, consuming much of the top layer of organic soil and killing all trees. In 2001, much
of the regenerating vegetation consisted of aspen
saplings about 1 m tall and shorter jack pine and black
spruce seedlings. An overstory of dead, leafless jack
pine trees dominated at a height of 18 m. Sparse grass
and herbs, such as fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium
L.) covered the ground. There were a large number of
fallen dead trees, mostly perched above the ground and
not decomposing quickly.
