Abstract
Meteorological data series from Swiss long-term forest ecosystem research plots since 1997
Highlights
The specific impacts of climate change need to be analyzed in all biomes and ecosystems
High-quality meteorological data below canopy are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, in the light of global change, as climate values under the canopy may differ considerably from the standard meteorological measurements recorded outside forests
The measurements were restricted to air temperature and relative humidity, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), precipitation, and wind speed
Summary
The specific impacts of climate change need to be analyzed in all biomes and ecosystems. The characteristics of the microclimate inside the forest and how it is changing relative to changes outside the forest need to be better understood to improve the quality and reliability of models for forest growth and biogeochemistry and to formulate management recommendations. High-quality meteorological data below canopy are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, in the light of global change, as climate values under the canopy may differ considerably from the standard meteorological measurements recorded outside forests. The dataset described here originates from various forest stands and allows a comparison between standard meteorological data and forest conditions under the canopy. Contrary to the open-field stations, those under the canopy do not fully correspond to the WMO criteria
