Dataset Overview
This dataset corresponds to a project investigating whether cold-air pooling influences forest composition and function. The data include hourly sub-canopy air temperatures (measured continuously via ibuttons) and forest forest composition data for 48 plots along 9 transects in 3 sites across New England, USA. The temperature data also include surface lapse rates and temperature gradients across transects, as well as a designation indicating the presence or absence of a temperature inversion. We found that sites with the most frequent temperature inversions also displayed vegetation inversions across slopes, with more cold-adapted species at low instead of high elevations.
