CO2 flux from tundra lichen, moss, and tussock, Council, Alaska: Assessment of spatial representativeness
CO2 flux-measurement in dominant tundra vegetation on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska was examined for spatial representativeness, using a manual chamber system. In order to assess the representativeness of CO2 flux, a 40 m × 40 m (5-m interval; 81 total points) plot was used in June, August, and Sep...
