Pre-treatment data for "Experimental thinning of streamside forests―new field sites"

https://doi.org/10.5878/wr86-wr26
This dataset was used to assess pre-treatment conditions of 6 sites that were selected to undergo riparian thinning experiment. All sites were in riparian forests along small streams in central Sweden, and the riparian forests were middle-age production forests, dominated by spruce. All forests were in the age for thinning. Before thinning was applied, riparian conditions, including forest structure (species composition, size of trees), ground vegetation (vascular plants and bryophytes), large wood (species composition, size, decomposition stage) and microlimate conditions (soil moisture and temperature, air humidity and temperature, incoming radiation) were assessed. The pre-thinning raw data from the summer-autumn of 2022 (June-October) are included in this data set.

Data collection Field observation

Mode of collection:

Field observation

Description of the mode of collection:

Ground vegetation surveys were conducted within 1 m quadrats situated along in the center of the experimental treatment plots. Ground vegetation (vascular and non-vascular plants) were identified into species and their abundances were recorded.

Time period(s) for data collection:

2022-06 - 2022-10

Data collection Field observation

Mode of collection:

Field observation

Description of the mode of collection:

Data on large wood (LW) were recorded in each plot of the 6 experimental sites in June 2022. In each plot, we recorded all pieces of LW and assign them species, size (length and diameter), decomposition status, and location (ground, in water, standing, suspended). All pieces of LW that clearly originated within the plot were recorded.

2022-06 - 2022-06

Data collection Measurements and tests

Mode of collection:

Measurements and tests

Description of the mode of collection:

The microclimate data collection was carried out using data loggers. For soil temperature and moisture, we used TOMST Dataloggers TMS, for near-ground (40 cm above ground) temperature and light intensity we used HOBO pendant loggers (UA-002-64) and for air humidity and temperature at breast height (1.3 m above ground) we used Lascar loggers (EL-USB-1). Loggers were placed in the center of each investiagated riparian plot (4 plots per site). The loggers were set to record hourly (HOBO) and 15-min (TOMRS and Lascar) measurements from June until October 2022.
