Report

- Statement
- This dataset is part of the NERC-FAPESP project ECOFOR. Data were collected from 4 plots in the Serra do Mar State Park (Nucleo Santa Virginia), and in two forest fragments on private land. Individual diffuse light profiles were produced by suspending a string of photosyntheticall active radiation (PAR) sensors from a tree branch. 10 - 12 profiles were collected per plot, and each profile was always at least 20 m from other profile locations. Sensors in the profile were separated at 1 m intervals. A reference open sky sensor was placed nearby. Sensors collected data from each profile for a minimum of 1 hour and maximum of 3 days, always including a period of diffuse light. Data were manually examined to identify diffuse periods, and for all records from diffuse periods the % light received compared to the open sky reference was calculated (% transmission). The mean % transmission across the diffuse period for each sensor was calculated to produce the light profile. Any missing values in the profile were interpolated or extrapolated. Average profiles for the plot were made using height above the ground and depth below the canopy top.
