| 2 | Plot | Plot number in experiment E120 | ||
| 3 | position | Position of the pyrometer within the plot | NW=stake at north west corner of a 5x5 m area centered in plot, SW=stake at south west corner of a 5x5 m area centered in plot, NE=stake at north east corner of a 5x5 m area centered in plot, SE=stake at south east corner of a 5x5 m area centered in plot, 1,2,3,4=the above four stakes but not known which ones (i.e., 1 is one of the above four stakes but could be NW, SW, NE, or SE in any plot; similarly for 2, 3, 4), C,I,O all refer to Control (unwarmed) subplots of Biodiversity and Climate (BAC, E249) experiment nested in E120 | |
| 4 | maxTemp20 | Maximum temperature (set at 20 to approximate ambient temperature if no paints melted) | degreeCelsius | |
| 5 | height | Height above ground of the metal tag (pyrometer) | S=stake 50 cm above ground, G=10 cm above ground in 2000 or flat on ground in other years | |
| 6 | percentBurn20cmRadius | The proportion of a circle 20 cm in radius around the pyrometer that carried fire. Not measured in all years. | proportion |
