Daily plot level (micro meteorological) data at Climoor field site in Clocaenog Forest 2016-2021. NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/5d90d356-5b2c-4ce0-927a-e26efacff015 This dataset combines average daily temperature and soil moisture data from nine experimental plots at the climate change field site Climoor located in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. Soil temperature is measured at 5 cm and 20 cm soil depth (degrees Celsius), and soil moisture is measured as soil volumetric water content (m3 per m3). The experimental field site consists of three untreated control plots (Plots 3, 6 and 9), three plots where the plant canopy air is artificially warmed during night time hours (Plots 1, 2 and 7) and three plots where rainfall is excluded from the plots at least during the plants growing season (Plots 4, 5 and 8). Data is an extension of the micromet datasets covering 1998-2015 and 2015-2016; adding the time period September 2016 to December 2021. Soil temperatures were measured with T107 sensors, and soil moisture was measured with CS616 sensors, both from Campbell scientific. Temperature and moisture data were recorded in minute intervals, and automatically averaged as half-hourly by the data logger. Half-hourly data were automatically transferred to CEH/UKCEH servers using remote telemetry. Data which were not recorded are marked with “NA”, faulty data were replaced with “-9999”. The Climoor field experiment intends to answer questions regarding the effects of warming and drought on ecosystem processes. The reported data are collected to monitor site specific environmental conditions and their development with time. These data are important to interpret results that are collected from the climate change manipulations imposed in the field.

The half-hourly data was transferred from loggers at the field site onto UKCEH servers via a remote telemetry system. Each morning, the previous days data was transferred. This dataset combines daily data from temperature and soil moisture sensors in each experimental plot (n=9 plots). Soil temperature is measured at 5 centimetre (cm) and 20 cm soil depth (degrees Celsius). Air temperature is measured 20 cm above the soil surface (degrees Celsius) and soil moisture is measured as soil volumetric water content (m3 per m3). Soil and air temperatures were measured with a T107 sensor, and soil moisture was measured with CS616 sensors, both from Campbell scientific. An automated script transferred the data into the project shared area of the shared network drive. Data quality checking was done on a regular basis by an experienced member of the team. Data was visually inspected using basic graphing tools, and erroneous values were removed, taking into account the weather at the site during the period in question. Data processing steps included using a macro to combine data into daily averages. Data was then cut and pasted into raw data files. Data here is collated raw data and has only had erroneous values removed followed by basic average or summing (in the case of rainfall) calculations being carried out. Data which were not recorded are marked with “NA”, faulty data were replaced by “-9999”. Data was transferred from the raw data files into comma separated value files for transfer into the Environmental Information Data Centre. Data were collected from the climate change field site Climoor which is located in Clocaenog forest, NE Wales. The experimental field site consists of three untreated control plots, three plots where the plant canopy air is artificially warmed during night time hours, and three plots where rainfall is excluded from the plots at least during the plants growing season.
