Measurements of leaf, wood, moss, lichen, root and whole ecosystem respiration made in tussock tundra near Imnavait Creek during the growing seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012. Measurements were made in a closed system in complete darkness using custom designed chambers. Chambers were plumbed to a LI-8100 analyzer control unit (LI-COR Environmental, Lincoln, NE). Nomenclature for vascular plants follows Hulten (1968), while that for mosses follows Vitt et al. (1988).
