Bonanza Creek LTER: Active Layer Depth or Permafrost Presence for the Regional Site Network
The initial goal (2000-2013) of these data was to define the presence/absence of permafrost within 2.5m of the surface in the regional site network. Efforts were focused mainly on sites where this was not easily deduced. The final subset of sites (2015 � present) are distributed across the 3 ecoregions of the RSN and primarily in older aged wet sites. The permafrost distribution in interior Alaska is discontinuous and dynamic; susceptible to fire and climate disturbances. Therefore, sites included in this long-term monitoring dataset may cease to be monitored as permafrost degrades and disappears or may be monitored again if permafrost is reestablished.
Bonanza Creek LTER: Annual Active Layer Depths from 1984 to Present in the Bonanza Creek Fireline near Fairbanks, Alaska
In 1983 the Rosie Creek fire burned sections of the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, providing researchers with a chance to study fire effects. Part of the study was to initiate another long term study on effects of firelines in permafrost areas similar to the one after the Wickersham fire in 1971. This dataset comprises depths to permafrost in a transect perpendicular to a fireline that was dug during the Rosie Creek fire in 1983. The transect proceeds from the burned area, across the fireline and into an unburned control area. Permafrost depth is measured at intervals in each area with a frost probe on a yearly basis. There are ten stakes in the burned area, twenty in the fireline and fireline margin areas, and ten stakes in the control area. Portions of the fireline were either cleared of vegetation or scraped to mineral soil. In 2002 Kenji Yoshikawa drilled a 5 meter deep hole between stakes nine and ten.
Phenology of flowers and leaves following experimental warming in the initiation and maturation years for 7 understory boreal plants at the Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research (BNZ LTER) site in Interior Alaska: 2017-2019
This dataset contains the results of experimental warming of flower and leaf buds for 7 understory boreal plants: Rhododendron groenlandicum, Rosa acicularis, Rubus chamaemorus, Shepherdia canadensis, Viburnum edule, Vaccinium uliginosum, and Vaccinium vitis-idaea. Plants in two cohorts were subjected to one of four treatments: warming in the initiation year (the year prior to flowering or leaf-out) only, warming in the maturation year (the year of flowering or leaf-out) only, warming in both years, or no warming (controls). The timing of flowering (both cohorts) and leaf-out (usually one cohort) was monitored. We also tracked developmental stages of the flower bud primordia using repeated desctructive sampling followed scanning electron microscopy throughout the initiation years. Environmental data associated with the plots, including air temperature throughout the summer, soil temperature and depth of ground thaw in late May, and canopy cover, are also reported.

[DEPRECATED] Vegetation Plots of the Bonanza Creek LTER Control Plots: Species Count (1975 - 2004) (Reformatted to ecocomDP Design Pattern)
This ecocomDP data package has been deprecated due to issues in the L0 source dataset that prohibits the creation of an L1 ecocomDP dataset. This data package is formatted according to the "ecocomDP", a data package design pattern for ecological community surveys, and data from studies of composition and biodiversity. For more information on the ecocomDP project see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP/tree/master, or contact EDI https://environmentaldatainitiative.org. This Level 1 data package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-bnz&identifier=175&revision=20 The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: These data are the vegetation datasets for 27 LTER sites in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The 27 sites are divided into three replicates for six primary successional stages on the floodplains (3 replicates X 6 successional stages = 18 sites) and three replicates for three secondary successional stages in the uplands (3 replicates X 3 successional stages = 9 sites). Data include: 1) Visual estimates of percent cover, 2) Stem counts (the number of individuals/species), and 3) Heights (cm) for "tall shrub species" in twenty 4 m2 plots. Shrubs are considered "Tall shrubs" if they are Salix sp., Alnus sp., Rosa acicularis, Viburnum edule, Betula nana, Betula glandulosa, or Rubus idaeus. Initial colonziations plots (FP0s, SL1s, HR1A) were remeasured every year. Early successional plots were remeasured every 2-4 years. Later succesional plots were remeasured approximately every five years. For a detail schedule of plot measurements please see the file: Vegetation Monitoring Schedule.xls Although most sites were established in 1988 some sites have vegetation plots that have been sampled periodically since 1965. In 2006 shrub data collection was changed to a transect method of sampling. These data can be found in the file: <a href="http://www.lte
Bonanza Creek LTER: Shrub, Seedling and Sapling Density from 1975 to Present in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest near Fairbanks, Alaska (Reformatted to a Darwin Core Archive)
This data package is formatted as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A, event core). For more information on Darwin Core see https://www.tdwg.org/standards/dwc/. This Level 2 data package was derived from the Level 1 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/edi/320/2, which was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-bnz/530/11. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: This study is a survey of the density of tall shrubs, saplings, and seedlings at Bonanza Creek LTER Control Plots. Densities have been measured at some sites since 1975 while others began in the mid 1980's. In 2006 methodology was changed in attempt to better capture the spatial variability of shrub and tree species within the research sites. The current method, presented here, uses a 2 meter wide transect along two site boundaries covering 220m2. All seedlings, saplings, and tall shrubs >1m (regardless of species) are counted by species and size class along the transect. The previous method used 4m2 circular plots at 20 points on a 10mx10m grid within the control plot for an area of 80m2. The circular method measured all seedlings, saplings, and a certain set of "tall shrubs", regardless of height. The height requirement creates an issue when comparing the old and new methods for early successional stands. For Alnus and Salix this is likely only a problem in the FP0 sites as they are the only sites with a high density of shrubs shorter than 1m. Shrub community changes at these early successional sites should be analyzed using percent cover data. At the later successional sites most Alnus and Salix shrubs are greater than 1m so the transect method likely does not underrepresent density. The metadata and raw data from the circular method can be found in <a href="http://www.lter.uaf.edu/data/data-detail/id/175"> Vegetation Plots of the Bonanza Creek LTER Control Plo
Bonanza Creek LTER: Bore Hole Data from Permafrost Site Location near Fairbanks, AK 2009-2021
The active layer and permafrost are the primary subsurface components of the Arctic land-atmosphere system. A permafrost research program is proposed that combines field measurements, laboratory measurements, and analyses and interpretations of data to be obtained at long-term study sites along a transects. These sites are in undisturbed areas, span a wide range of permafrost, climatic, and environmental conditions, include drill holes in the permafrost (from 40 to 75 m in depth), and have a long time series of data.
Tree stand structure summary at Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest LTER sites
We measure trees and shrubs within 50 x 60 m permanent plots at LTER research sites within the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, as a means to monitor vegetation change and to estimate productivity. The 27 LTER research sites represent three replicates each of six successional stages of primary succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River and three stages of succession following wildfire in the uplands. All trees and tall shrubs within the plot are stem mapped, and the dbh is measured at least every 5 years. The condition of each tree is assessed at the time of measurement and following major disturbance events. Band dendrometers have been placed on select trees at each site where applicable. Litterfall and seedfall are collected and measured annually. White spruce seedlings are mapped and their heights measured every 2 years within the tree plots at younger successional stages. The DBH of alders and willows are measured. Shrub heights are measured annually at young floodplain stands. Changes in species composition through succession are a function of life history traits modified by facilitative and competitive interactions. Vegetation-caused changes in resource (light, nutrients, and moisture)availability during succession control vegetation biomass, productivity, and organic matter and nutrient distribution.
Vegetation Plots of the Bonanza Creek LTER Control Plots: Species Percent Cover (1975 - 2009)
This study is a survey of the vegetation of the 35 control sites in Bonanza Creek LTER. The 35 sites represent replicates each of six successional stages of primary succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River and four stages of succession uplandsas well as a few recently burned sites. Data include percent cover of all species and count based on twenty 1 m2 or 4 m2 plots. Plots in young stages of succession were remeasured every 1 to 2 years; those in older stages every 3 to 5 years. Some information on biomass in these stages is available. Although most sites were established in 1988 some sites have vegetation plots that have been sampled periodically since 1965. 2009 was the last year of sampling using visual estimates of percent cover. In 2007 a new point framing system was developed and is now used for collecting vegetation data from these sites.

Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest Precipitation (Water Buckets/Rain Gauges) at BCEF LTER sites: Weekly
Three (in clearings) or four (under canopies) Weather Bureau standard rain gauges have been placed on stands at a height of approximately 1 m at each site with meteorological measurements. Rainfall is measured each week during the summer with a dip stick. Measurements are entered into the computer and averaged by site and date. Prior to 1991 measurements were in inches. These data have been converted to mm.
Bonanza Creek LTER Photo Monitoring
This data file represents a photo monitoring project in large reference stands at Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research Site (BNZ LTER) 26 km southwest of the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, Fairbanks, Alaska. The photo monitoring took place in six mapped and measured reference stands representing white spruce, Alaska birch, and aspen-dominated stands, with one stand in the mature or old growth condition and a comparable site that was the same forest type until a high-severity, stand-replacing crown fire in 1983, for a total of 6 initial stands. The 1983 Rosie Creek Fire was a human-caused wildfire that burned 8,600 acres including about 1/3 of the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The old growth white spruce reference stand was expanded by 1.0 ha to two contiguous hectares, and the burned aspen stand by 0.25 ha to one full hectare (initial) plus an adjacent quarter-hectare. Since 1993 the second old-growth white spruce hectare and second burned aspen quarter-hectare received the full photo-monitoring protocol as the original 6 reference hectares, making a total of 8 photo stand locations.
