- Notes:
- an even-aged, mixed de- ciduous forest in central Massachusetts (42° 28′ N, 72° 10′ W). It is dominated by Quercus rubra and Quercus velutina (42% of basal area) and Acer rubrum (29%) with lesser components of Fraxinus americana (11%) and occurs on soils of the Canton series. As in an earlier, smaller (6 × 6 m) soil-warming study nearby (18), we used buried resistance cables to heat the soil. In large (30 × 30 m) heated and control (unheated) areas, we carried out a set of biogeochemical and plant phenology and growth measurements. see paper for NEP.; elevation queried from lat lon using R geonames::GNstrm3
- Soilnotes:
- Soils are mainly of the Canton series (coarse-loamy over sandy or sandy-skeletal, mixed, semiactive, mesic Typic Dystrudepts) with a surface O horizon pH of 5.2 and subsurface mineral horizon pH of 5.5. The average bulk density is 0.37·g·cm−3 in the organic layer and 0.78·g·cm−3 in the mineral layer. Raw data for soil respiration, soil temperature, soil moisture, N mineralization, and canopy foliage are available online at http://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu:8080/exist/xquery/data.xq?id=hf018
