1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Models of global climate change predict that increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will (1) cause an increase in average global temperatures and (2) alter regional levels of precipitation. It is also predicted that the incidence of drought will increase with a warming global climate. Forests throughout the southeastern United States, where evapotranspiration demand is high and is predicted to increase as temperatures rise, would be particularly vulnerable to declines in annual precipitation. Potential responses of U.S. forests to future drought associated with climate change include a reduction in net primary production and stand water use, along with increased mortality of seedlings and saplings (Hanson and Weltzin 2000).

To provide data on the responses of forests to altered precipitation regimes, the Throughfall Displacement Experiment (TDE) was established in the Walker Branch Watershed (WBW) of East Tennessee (latitude 35o 58' N, longitude 84o 17' W). Funding for the TDE was provided by the Program for Ecosystem Research of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research.

Remotely sensed imagery of the WBW is available from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (http://modis- land.gsfc.nasa.gov/val/coresite.asp?SiteID=28 and http: //modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODIS/LAND/VAL/prove/forest/prove.html) and from the U.S. Geological Survey.

A detailed description of the TDE is provided by Hanson et al. (1998) and Hanson et al. (2001) (see Appendix A). Experimental manipulation of hydrologic inputs at the TDE is accomplished by intercepting throughfall in approximately 2000 subcanopy troughs (0.3 x 5 m) suspended above the forest floor on a "dry" treatment plot and transferring the throughfall across a control plot for distribution onto a "wet" treatment plot. Each plot is 80 x 80 m in size. The treatments result in a 33% decrease in precipitation reaching the forest floor on the dry plot and a corresponding increase in precipitation on the wet plot. Reductions in soil moisture on the dry plot are expected to be equivalent to the driest growing seasons of the 1980's drought, which resulted in reduced tree growth of some species.

The site was chosen because of its uniform slope, consistent soils, and a reasonably uniform distribution of vegetation. The physical and chemical characteristics of the typic Paleudult soils (Fullerton cherty silt loam) of the TDE site are summarized in Appendix B. The forest community is dominated by white oak, chestnut oak, and red maple, but it contains more than 25 tree species (Appendix C). The past 25 years of research on the Walker Branch Watershed provide an important reference database against which to judge the outcomes of this large-scale field experiment.


MEASUREMENT METHODS

Soil Water Content and Potential

Soil water content (%, v/v) was measured with a Soil Moisture Equipment Corp.® TRASE SYSTEM time-domain reflectometer (TDR) following the procedure of Topp and Davis (1985) as documented for soils with high coarse-fraction content (Drungil et al. 1989). Three hundred and ten sampling locations were installed at an 8 x 8-m spacing across the site, giving more than 100 soil water monitoring locations per plot. At each location two pairs of TDR waveguides were installed in a vertical orientation (0 to 0.35 and 0 to 0.7 m). The surface (0 to 0.35 m) TDR measurements coincide with the zone of maxium root density in these soils. TDR measurements were obtained biweekly during the growing season and approximately monthly during the dormant season. The TDR soil water content measurements were adjusted for the coarse fraction of these soils and converted to soil water potentials using laboratory-derived soil moisture retention curves for the A, A/E, and E/B horizons (Hanson et al. 1998).


Soil Rock Content

Soil was sampled from depths of 0 to 30 and 30 to 60 cm in ~10-cm-diameter cylindrical cores with a total volume of 2430.96 cm3. The soil coarse fraction was determined by weighing the material retained by a 2-mm sieve. To convert coarse-fraction mass to volume all rock (i.e., chert) was assumed to have a mean density of 2.3 g cm-3. This density was based on laboratory observations for chert taken from the TDE samples.


Weather and Radiation

Weather data are collected as hourly means and logged on LiCor® LI-1000 data loggers housed in instrument enclosures located at one upslope and one downslope location per treatment plot and one enclosure in the nearby clearing. Measurements of incoming rainfall, irradiance (LiCor® LI-200SA pyranometer), and photosynthetic photon flux density (LiCor® LI-191SA quantum sensor) were obtained in a nearby clearing until 1998 when above-canopy observations were added to the ambient plot tower. Clearing data were used to represent "above-canopy" conditions for the experimental site for the years 1993-1997. Mean incident shortwave radiation was measured with an Eppley® precision spectral pyranometer located 44 m above the forest canopy (these data are not available for 1993 and 1994). Two tipping bucket rain gauges with 3-m extension troughs attached are installed on each plot to evaluate the amount of throughfall reaching the forest floor. Sub-canopy air temperatures (2 stations per treatment plot) are measured with thermistors at approximately 1 m height in a location shielded from direct solar radiation. Wind data for 1993 through 1997 are from a height of 37 m on the the Oak Ridge Ameriflux tower (10 m above the canopy). A value of 1.5 m s-1 is used to fill in for missing hours for those years in the hourly weather data. Wind data for 1998 through 2000 are from the ambient plot tower on the TDE experimental site and the anemometer is nearer to the canopy (4 m above the canopy).


Litter Temperature

Self-contained Onset Computer® data loggers were deployed within the Oi litter layer during extensive periods in 1997 1998 and 2000. In 1997 1998, StowAway XTI08 sensors in the dry (x4) and ambient (x4) plots were used. The XTI08 sensors employed an external thermistor positioned inside litter decomposition bags that were located in the Oi horizon leaf litter from March 15, 1997, through February 6, 1998. StowAway TidbiT sensors were placed directly in the Oi layer of the dry (x4) and wet (x4) plots from January 27, 2000, to December 14, 2000. Soil Temperature From 1993 through 1997 hourly soil temperatures were measured at two depths (10 and 35 cm) at 2 locations in each treatment plot. LiCor® LI-1000-15 soil temperature thermistors were installed vertically from the surface to the specified depth. Data were automatically logged on six independent LiCor LI-1000 data loggers housed in instrument enclosures located at one upslope and one downslope location per treatment plot. No differences among treatment plots or slope positions were observed for temperatures at these depths, and the data were pooled as hourly site averages. Starting in 1998, soil temperature observations were obtained from Campbell Scientific® Model 107 soil temperature thermistors installed horizontally into the walls of an excavated and subsequently refilled soil pit. The probes were distributed at four depths in each pit (~10 cm, ~30 cm, ~45 cm, and one deep probe in the 60 to 100-cm range). Data were logged as hourly means of 5-second (for 1993-1997 data) or 1-minute (1998 and thereafter) observations on a Campbell Scientific® CR10X data logger.


Tree Mortality and Growth

Prior to the experiment and at approximately annual intervals thereafter, all trees greater than 0.1 m in diameter at 1.3 m height (diameter at breast height, dbh) were identified to species (762 trees). Presence/mortality was recorded annually. Annual diameter measurements were conducted with diameter tapes at tagged locations on all trees.

Tree heights and crown widths were measured directly on approximately one- third of the trees or derived from allometric relationships from a subset of the measured data. Quercus spp. and Acer spp. were the major canopy dominants; Liriodendron tulipifera L. was a canopy dominant on the lower slope positions; and Nyssa sylvatica Marsh. and Oxydendrum arboreum [L. ] D. C. were the predominant species occupying mid-canopy locations. In March of 1994, stand basal area averaged 21 m2 ha-1 with nearly identical basal area on each plot. By December 1999, mean basal area across all plots had increased to 22.8 m2 ha-1.

Quercus alba L., Q. prinus L., Acer rubrum L., L. tulipifera L., and N. sylvatica Marsh. trees greater than 0.2 m dbh were fitted with dendrometer bands (170 trees) for biweekly measurements of stem circumference during each growing season. A single dendrometer measurement consists of duplicate digital caliper measurements (0.01 mm resolution) of the distance between two reference holes in stainless steel dendrometer bands (25.4 mm wide x 0.2 mm thick) installed around the circumference of each tree (McLaughlin and Downing 1996). Measured changes in the circumference of each tree were combined with information on its initial stem diameter to obtain the change in stem basal area over time (mm2 day-1 or mm2 year-1). Dendrometer bands were installed on the Q. alba, Q. prinus, and A. rubrum trees prior to the 1993 growing season, and bands for L. tulipifera and N. sylvatica were added in February of 1994. All dendrometer bands were installed during the dormant season, ahead of the initial growth measurements, to eliminate potential first-year bias in the dendrometer band measurements (Keeland and Sharitz 1993).


Sapling Growth and Mortality

Starting in 1996 all saplings in 27 plots (8 x 8 m) distributed across the TDE experimental area (9 plots per treatment) were observed for survival and diameter (measured with a caliper) at marked locations on the stems. The preferred target height for diameter measurements was 1.3 m unless the sapling was too small, in which case 1 m was used instead. Figure 1 shows the distribution (random within rows). Each small block is an 8 x 8-m plot. The 27 plots, each 8 x 8 m, yielded a total of 1728 m2 of monitored area, which was 9% of the total TDE experimental area. The number of saplings (trees < 0.1 m dbh) across the TDE area averaged 3073 ha-1 in 1994 and 2112 ha-1 in 1999. Saplings contributed an additional 3 and 2.6 m2 ha-1 to total stand basal area in 1994 and 1999, respectively. Acer rubrum L. and Cornus florida L. combined to make up 59 percent of all saplings and 53 percent of the sapling basal area.

In February and March of 1994, 10 transects for observations of sapling growth and mortality were established across the three plots from lower- to upper-slope positions. Although other species were considered for these measurements, only A. rubrum and C. florida were distributed across the TDE in sufficient numbers for inclusion. Saplings ranged from 10 to 60 mm dbh with the majority from 10 to 40 mm. Height measurements were not included because the crowns were broad without predominant main shoots and because height growth was minimal in the low-light understory environment of our closed canopy stand. Starting at the time of spring leafout each year, biweekly measurements of stem diameter at a permanently marked location on each sapling's main stem (typically between 1 and 1.5 m above the ground) were conducted until sapling growth had ceased for that year. Each stem caliper measurement was the mean of three replicate diameter measurements made with a digital caliper (0.01 mm resolution) from three different angles around the marked point of measurement. The mean of replicate measures from different angles was required to minimize the impact of noncircular stem cross sections. Sapling stem diameters were converted to basal area to express mean daily sapling growth rates per plant in mm2 day-1, or integrated annual sapling growth in mm2 year-1. Incremental growth of saplings that died in a given year were included in the calculation of that year's mean growth rate but excluded in all subsequent estimates of annual growth. Additional randomly chosen saplings were added to the measurement pool after the 1994, 1995, and 1996 growing seasons (to make up for mortality losses), but no additional plants were added to this observation set after that time.


Leaf Area Index

Seasonal patterns of stand leaf area development were determined from the ratio of understory to overstory light penetration. This canopy light ratio (CLR; Equation 1) was calculated as 1 minus the ratio of the daily sum of understory photosynthetically active radiation (PARu; PAR at 1.5 m) to the daily sum of overstory incident PAR (PARo):

CLR = 1-(PARu/PARo)          Eq. 1

Because of the presence of tree boles and branches, pre-leaf out and post- senescence baselines for the CLR were not zero. Therefore, to express the CLR on a 0-1 scale it was necessary to adjust the ratio for the light penetration during leafless periods as shown in Equation 2:

RelLAI = (Observed CLR-baseline)/(Maximum CLR-baseline)          Eq. 2

where RelLAI is the relative leaf area index on the 0-1 scale for a given date. However, because the baseline ratio resulting from the presence of boles and branches changed with solar elevation, we found it necessary to use more than one baseline for the calculation of the seasonal pattern of RelLAI. Although the baseline CLR in the absence of leaves would vary continuously with solar elevation, we found that use of the pre-leafout baseline for days 80 through 180 and the post-senescence baseline for days 181 through 350 yielded an acceptable RelLAI pattern. It is important to note that the RelLAI values are representative of the development of leaf area, not leaf mass (i.e., they may overpredict the rate of annual leaf mass accumulation). Approximations of leaf mass development or a direct estimate of leaf are index (LAI) could also be made from the same data using a light extinction approach as described by Hutchinson and Baldocchi (1989).


Data Logging

Environmental data for the TDE were logged on Campbell Scientific® CR10X data loggers located on each of the treatment plots. All loggers were interfaced with a Campbell Scientific MD9 coaxial multidrop interface, and data from all loggers were remotely accessed weekly via Campbell Scientific® COM200 modem and cellular telephone. As a backup to remote data downloads, the logged data were also stored in Campbell Scientific® SM192 nonvolatile circular memory with the capacity to hold approximately one month's data for the configuration used here. The loggers and associated instrumentation operated off three 12-volt, deep-cycle marine batteries wired in parallel. The batteries were trickle-charged from solar panels (Solarex® 55 watts @ 17.4 volts; with a metered Morningstar® PS30M photovoltaic controller, 30-amp PV current @ 12 volts) installed on towers above the forest canopy. Sensors were connected to the CR10X data logger via a standard wiring panel and two Campbell Scientific® AN416 multiplexer modules.

An example data program for the CR10X data logger editor and the data logger download file for the TDE ambient plot and its instruments are included in this numeric data package (NDP) as files tdeambi.csi and tdeambi.dld, respectively. The example program includes two sampling tables. The majority of the instrumentation is queried once per minute and logged as hourly means or sums as a part of the first sampling table, and a second samling table is included to query heat dissipation matric potential sensors (Campbell Scientific® Model 229) twice a day (noon and midnight). Table 1 lists the measurement interval, logging interval, and type of sensors being logged on the TDE ambient plot as of December 2000.

This NDP provides datasets, and accompanying documentation, on site characterization, system performance, weather, species composition, and growth. Related NDPs are planned on physiology, decomposition, and nutrient cycling.


2. APPLICATIONS OF THE DATA

These data are useful for quantifying certain responses of temperate forest ecosystems (litter and soil water content, growth, mortality) to changes in precipitation patterns. Other datasets from the TDE will be useful for quantifying other aspects of ecosystem response (e.g., physiology, decomposition, nutrient cycling).

Data from the TDE have been used in published studies of the effects of altered water regimes on forest root systems (Joslin et al. 2000) and sapling and large-tree growth and mortality (Hanson et al. 2001), and a wide variety of process-based studies (see Appendix D for TDE publications).


3. DATA LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Users should be aware of limitations to the data as a result of suspect values. The quality-assurance checks performed by CDIAC, and the results of those checks, are described in
Section 4.

In the weather files, some reported values of relative humidity (in files mweather.dat, dweather.dat, hw9399.dat, and hw00.dat) exceed 100%; this is physically impossible. However, it is not yet known how these values arose nor how to adjust the data.

Some values of relative leaf area (in file rellai.dat) were suspiciously low, such as the value of 0.44 on day 289 in 1998. Most such values occur in the fall; a lower sun angle may contribute to these low values. A curve-fitting approach may be appropriate to analyze the patterns of leaf senescence.

Hourly weather data were checked by the data contributors for errors and missing data. If bad or missing data were found, approximate replacement data were obtained from other weather data sources in the area, if possible, to provide the most complete data set.

If TDE shortwave radiation data are needed for model input, the values for SWISIS should be used instead of the LiCor® pyranometer data. Both are in good agreement for most years, but the TDE pyranometer data for 1998 and 2000 do not agree very well with the SWISIS data (mean of 5 observations) distributed across the reservation.

The issue of pseudo-replication in the experimental design is addressed by Hanson et al. (1998) and Hanson et al. (2001).

In addition to the above considerations, users should be aware that there is some evidence of minor effects of the experimental infrastructure (specifically, the precipitation-collection equipment) on the microclimate of the "dry" treatment plot.


4. QUALITY-ASSURANCE CHECKS AND DATA-PROCESSING ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY CDIAC

An important part of the data packaging process at CDIAC involves the quality assurance (QA) of data before distribution. To guarantee data of the highest possible quality, CDIAC performs extensive QA checks, examining the data for completeness, reasonableness, and accuracy.

Comma-delimited files provided by the data contributors were imported into Microsoft Excel® for QA checks (and, ultimately, converted to space-delimited ascii files for archiving). Files were renamed when necessary, for consistency. Variable names were made consistent across files, for simplicity of documentation and analysis.

The file soiltemp.txt provided by the data contributor was divided into two files, st9398.dat (data from 1993 through 1998) and st9900.dat (data from 1999 through 2000). Sixteen tdr*.txt files (one set for each of two depths, 35 and 70 cm, and for each year from 1993 through 2000) were combined into one tdr.dat file. For consistency with other files, in file tdr.dat integer values 1, 2, and 3 for the variable TREAT were replaced by character values W, A, and D, respectively; and values 1, 2, and 3 for the variable SLOPE were replaced by values B, M, and U, respectively. Eight monthly and eight daily weather files (one monthly and one daily file for each year from 1993 through 2000) were combined into a single mweather.dat file and a single dweather.dat file, respectively. Seven hourly weather files (for the years 1993 through 1999) were combined into a single hw9399.dat file.

The format of all values was checked for improper entries.

Several files (e.g., atree.dat) were reformatted by adding variables for year, depth, etc., but eliminating variables that were a combination of year, depth, etc., and another variable (e.g., growth), thereby reducing the total number of variables, resulting in a "narrower" but "longer" file.

For all variables in all files, the range of values was checked for impossible or suspiciously large or small values, such MONTH >12 or values of water potential (e.g., variable A35WP in file sw.dat) >0 MPa. Values of relative humidity apparently exceeding 100% are discussed in Section 3.

Comparisons and X-Y scattergrams were used to check for outliers and impossible or unlikely combinations. For example, file mweather.dat was inspected to ensure that, for air temperature, relative humidity, and soil temperature, the minimum did not exceed the mean, which in turn did not exceed the maximum; no observations failed this test. Scattergrams were plotted and visually examined to check the correlation between PYRAN and QUAN; and ATMIN and STMIN, ATMEAN and STMEAN, and ATMAX and STMAX (minimum, mean, and maximum air and soil temperatures) in file mweather.dat; no obvious outliers were detected.

The following lists the specific data-quality checks by file:
