> SPRUCE S1 Bog Vegetation Allometric and Biomass Data: 2010-2011

This data set reports the results of measurements on sampled aboveground tissues of trees (Picea mariana and Larix laricina), shrubs (Ledum, Chamaedaphne, and Vaccinium), and ground layer vegetation (all species) of the S1 Bog located in areas adjacent to planned experimental study plots. Ground layer vegetation was sampled from both hummocks and hollows, within a 0.25 m2 plot, to evaluate total standing biomass of bog vegetation at or near the peak of annual production. Vegetation was harvested, processed, and measured in July of 2010 and again in June of 2011.

> SPRUCE Environmental Monitoring Data: 2010-2011

This data set reports selected ambient environmental monitoring data from the S1 bog for the period June 2010 through October 2011. Measurements of the environmental conditions at these stations will serve as a pre-treatment baseline for experimental treatments and provide driver data for future modeling activities.

> SPRUCE S1 Bog Peat Depth Determined by Push Probe and GPR: 2009-2010

This data set reports the thickness of peat for the S1 Bog measured directly with manual push probes on September 21 and 22, 2009, and measured by ground penetrating radar (GPR) across transects from January 26 to February 2, 2010 and June 2 to June 9, 2010. Also included are interpolated values of peat depth from both probe and GPR data for the S1 Bog at 1 meter square horizontal resolution.

> SPRUCE S1 Bog Vegetation Survey and Peat Depth Data: 2009

This data set reports the results of a field survey of the S1 Bog to characterize the vegetation and to determine peat depth. The survey was conducted on September 21 and 22, 2009.
