Evapotranspiration rates were collected from 5 species at two times (June and July 2019) across five topgraphic positions ranging from streamside up to the ridgetop. Measurement species were located across a range of disturbance severities to test the hypothesis that changing light and water dynamics from different levels of disturbance will affect understory plant water use. Evapotranspiration rates were collected using a hand-made portable rapid ET chamber.CC0 1.0 Universalevapotranspirationplant water useunderstorytimber harvestdisturbanceforestDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/11c7-vc76
