Soil moisture is measured in 5, 10 and 30 cm under mixed heath vegetation adjacent to the BioBasis phenology plot Pap-3. The soil moisture measurements have been running from 2004 - now. Soil moisture is measured manully every week, during the snow free season. Cables between soil moisture sensor in 30 cm's depth and logger were cut by foxes in 2006 and have not been replaced. Soil properties:Soil properties GeoBasis Zackenberg:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the ...
