Forest cover buffers microclimate and increases fuel moisture in northern conifer forests

These are the data associated with a project testing how forest structure impacts understory microclimate and fuel moisture content in two forests of the northeastern US. The datasets include forest structure measured from traditional forest inventories and terrestrial laser scanning, understory microclimate measurements of temperature and relative humidity, as well as repeated measurements of fuel moisture. These measurements took place at 24 plots across two locations in the summer of 2023. , , # Data from: Forest cover buffers microclimate and increases fuel moisture in northern conifer forests Dataset DOI: [10.5061/dryad.83bk3jb74](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.83bk3jb74) ## Description of the data and file structure These are the data associated with a project testing how forest structure impacts understory microclimate and fuel moisture content in two forests of the northeastern US.
