  • White spruce (Picea gluaca) at Brooks Range treelines in Alaska: colonists, forest advance, reproduction, recruitment, growth, and physiochemical condition, (2019-2022)
Title: White spruce (Picea gluaca) at Brooks Range treelines in Alaska: colonists, forest advance, reproduction, recruitment, growth, and physiochemical condition, (2019-2022)
This dataset includes measurements and estimated variable values from treelines in Alaka's Brooks Range mountains. It includes locations of colonists above treelines found in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022; forest advance rates from the 1970s to 2010s from repeat imagery; growth rates of leaders of juveniles during 2015-2020 and lateral branch growth of adults in 2019; counts of saplings; temperatures of air at 2 meters (m) and soil at 10 centimeters (cm) from 2019-2022; soil moisture in 2019; estimated snow depth in January 2020, 2021, and 2022; foliar nitrogen and phosphorous; and foliar stable isotope ratios for nitrogen (15N:14N) and carbon (13C:12C). The purpose of the dataset is to show the effect of sea ice retreat on treeline advance.  more » « less

    Tree-ring widths from 1576 white spruce trees growing at 78 treelines distributed across 19 research sites along a longitudinal gradient in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska. The general purpose of the sampling was to examine west-east variation in white spruce growth responses to changes in climate. Trees were sampled at both high ("alpine") and low elevation treelines ("arctic"). Increment cores were collected in August and September of 2022 as low as possible on each tree (~25 centimeter height). Trees indicated with an "f" were treated with NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizer in June of 2019 and June of 2021.

    This dataset contains field- and lab-measured characteristics for post-fire mineral soil samples collected in the field for plots in 8 fire scars in Interior Alaska and the Yukon. Data was collected in the summer of 2022. Fire scars sampled included Shovel Creek (2019), Aggie Creek (2015), Hess Creek (2019), Baker (2015), Munson Creek (2021), Isom Creek (2020), 2019MA014 (2019), and 2019BC005 (2019). Lab analyses were conducted in fall of 2022 at NAU.

    Discharge rates at multiple inflow streams into Falling Creek Reservoir (Vinton, Virginia, USA), Beaverdam Reservoir (Vinton, Virginia, USA), and Carvins Cove Reservoir (Roanoke, Virginia, USA) were measured manually using multiple methods from 2019-2022. Falling Creek Reservoir, Beaverdam Reservoir, and Carvins Cove Reservoir are owned and operated by the Western Virginia Water Authority as drinking water sources for Roanoke, Virginia. The dataset consists of discharge rates calculated using one of four methods: handheld flowmate, salt injection, velocity float or bucket method. Data were collected weekly to monthly from February through October 2019 at Falling Creek and Beaverdam Reservoir, and approximately monthly at Falling Creek in 2020-2021, and approximately monthly at Carvins Cove in 2021-2022.
