Estimating CO2 exchange at two sites in Arctic tundra ecosystems during the growing season using a spectral vegetation index
Measurements of carbon uxes in Arctic tundra landscapes are generally obtained through intensive eld work and involve the use of chamber and/or micrometeorological tower techniques. However, findings in a variety of non-Arctic ecosystems have demonstrated the potential of remote sensing-based techni...

Measurements of carbon uxes in Arctic tundra landscapes are generally obtained through intensive eld work and involve the use of chamber and/or micrometeorological tower techniques.

These relationships were evaluated for variations in vegetation cover type and environmental factors using data collected during the short Arctic growing season. Overall, this study demonstrated a relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and measurements of mean site gross photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration at two sites in Arctic tundra ecosystems on the North Slope of Alaska. |
