Data on air temperature, relative humidity and dew point in a boreal Sphagnum bog and an upland site (Shichengskoe mire system, North-Western Russia)

Abstract

The dataset contains microclimate parameters including air temperature, relative humidity and dew point measurements from a large wetland, Shichengskoe mire system, in Vologda Region, Russia, during four vegetation periods. Data were collected in 2013–2015 and 2017 using DT-171 data loggers (Elma Instruments). Data loggers were attached to the wooden posts at 0.5 m height from the surface. Continuous recordings were performed every 30 min providing 48 measurements of air temperature, relative humidity and dew point per day. The dataset presented in the article is of particular value to understanding the heterogeneity of abiotic parameters within mire systems.
