Warming, Heatwave and Rain Manipulation Experimental Research

A three-factor (Warming, Drought, Heatwave) climate manipulation experiment was conducted in the Tasmanian highlands in a subalpine plant community on Bucks Marsh, Silver Plains over three years. Plant community composition data was taken annually from each of 32 plots alongside soil volumetric water content and air temperature measurements taken every 30 minutes. The annual heatwave event was logged at a finer time resolution and following the event, plant fluorescence measurements were captured for common species. These data and some associated code are uploaded here.

本研究在塔斯马尼亚高地银平原巴克沼泽的亚高山植物群落中，开展了为期三年的包含增温（Warming）、干旱（Drought）、热浪（Heatwave）三个因子的气候操控实验。研究人员每年对32个样地分别采集植物群落组成数据，同时以每30分钟一次的频率同步测定土壤体积含水量与空气温度。年度热浪事件以更高的时间分辨率进行记录，且在热浪事件结束后，研究人员针对群落常见物种采集了植物荧光测量数据。上述所有观测数据及部分配套代码已在此处上传。
