Brief description
Hobo micro weather station data loggers, and iButton thermochrons and hygrochrons, were used to collect long-term microclimate data from 2006-2009 at this permanent monitoring site. Manual quarterly sampling of temperature and humidity has been ongoing since February 2004.
Full description
Sensors used: - HOBO micro weather station - iButton Thermochron - iButton Hygrochron Hobo micro weather station data loggers, ibuttons and hygrobuttons were used to collect long-term microclimate data from 2006-2009 at this permanent monitoring site. Air temperature and humidity sampling was conducted manually in relation to standardized vertebrate sampling quarterly from 2004 (ongoing) . The HOBO data loggers and iButton Hygrochron were erected 1m from the ground 0.25 m squared. They were placed well within the forest out of public view and camouflage painted. Sensors associated with each logger measured the following readings continuously at 15 minute intervals: - Air Temperate - Humidity - Soil Temperature - Soil Moisture - Leaf wetness An iButton Thermochron was placed beneath a log to measure under-log temperature. This set of 3 microclimate data loggers were established at 25 sites in November 2006: Site Name AU10A2 AU1A3 AU2A2 AU4A2 AU6A2 AU8A2 BK10A2 BK12A2 BK14A2 BK16A2 CU10A2 CU12A2 CU1A1 CU2A2 CU4A2 CU6A2 CU8A2 SU10A2 SU10B2 SU350A2 SU6A2 SU8A2 WU11A2 WU13A2 WU9A2
