Data sets associated with the Cluculz retrospective study (E.P. 886.10):
During a year away from studies in 1987-88, Dr. Paul Sanborn developed a successful grant proposal to the Science Council of BC (SCBC) to pursue a postdoctoral project with Dr. Tim Ballard in relation to sulphur-deficient soils in BC and prescribed fire. This project built on an existing broadcast burning study conducted by Macmillan Bloedel Ltd. near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, led by Bill Beese (later at Vancouver Island University). Dr. Sanborn's work addressed sulphur forms and amounts in the soils at these sites, and the chemical processes influencing sulphur availability in relation to prescribed fire.
Only one part of this work was eventually published:

The remainder of the work was documented in this Project Completion Report to SCBC, dated February 28, 1990, and entitled "Effects of Prescribed Fire on Sulphur in Forest Soils".
Thirty-four data files were selected for archival retention. There is some redundancy of content among these, with some formatted for incorporation as tables in the report appendices, and others containing some of the same data, but set up as input files for a statistics program. These account for almost all of the data listed in the Project Completion Report appendices. No glossary of variable names is provided, but these should be identifiable by referring to the Report.

The film depicts logging and sawmilling operations at the Eagle Lake Sawmill, as well as shots of the bunkhouses, exterior shots of the mill, and the beehive burner. Employees of the mill are shown at work. In 1952, Eagle Lake Sawmill used both machinery and horses in their operations.

The following Excel files are the primary lab reports from the Ministry of Forests analytical laboratory. At the time of this study, the lab reports would only use a minimal sample identification consisting of a sequential number (1, 2 … etc.) for each sample in a job. The submitter had to maintain their own records to link that sequential number in the report to something more meaningful – in this case, the tag number on the litterbag, the litter type, and the plot number – as recorded in my consolidated file Kenneth Creek Litterbag Sample Numbering.xlsx
Two files contain the complete records of initial litter materials and recovered litterbag contents, with some limited summaries of mean values by treatment and recovery date:
Includes the following data sets from Kenneth Creek installation litterfall collection:
Traps were emptied 3 times per year (May, August, October) and the weights of the sorted contents of each trap were reported for each collection interval in these files:
Sorted litter trap materials – composited for each plot and sampling date – were submitted annually to the Ministry of Forests and Range Analytical Chemistry Laboratory for analysis. The following files provide the link between the sequential sample numbers used in the lab result reports and the records of sampling date, plot number, and material type:
The following files have the original lab reports in the “Raw Data” pane, and the lab data merged with the sample identification information in the “Labelled” pane:
Four files have annual summaries of litterfall amounts, element concentrations, and element fluxes by plot and treatment:
More compact tabular summaries of the litterfall and element fluxes over the 4-year period of monitoring are in:
Three additional files provide pine foliar chemical data and preliminary estimates of the extent of element retranslocation from foliage prior to litterfall:
