Data Behind Carbon Turnover calculatioins from Canadian Boreal Forest Fire Chronosequence

File contains data from fire chronoseqiences from permafrost and non-permafrost boreal forest regions of Canada. The permafrost areas were located along the Dempster Highway close to Eagle Plains in Yukon (66°22′N, 136°43′W) and Tsiigehtchic and Inuvik in Northwest Territories (67°26′N, 133°45′W). The non-permafrost areas were located close to Carmacs and Pelly Crossing in Yukon (62°50′N, 136°35′W).

There were altogether four age classes in both northern (permafrost areas) and southern (non-permafrost areas) chronosequences. In the north, the last fires where in years 2012, 1990, 1969 and Control (fire >100 years ago). In the south, the last fires were in 2013, 1950, 1922, and Control (fire >100 years ago ).

Dataset includes post-fire soil temperature data from fire chronosequences located on permafrost and non-permafrost soils. Also, data from laboratory incubation experiment are presented and biomass measurements from field.
