Soil temperature is measured in 0 cm in a transect though a snow fan, at four sites, about 250 Southwest of the Zackenberg research station. The four sites are: S1: Gravel plateau North of the snow fan, S2: In the upper part of the snow fan, S3: the lower part of the snow fan and S4: In front of the...

Description
Summary:Soil temperature is measured in 0 cm in a transect though a snow fan, at four sites, about 250 Southwest of the Zackenberg research station. The four sites are: S1: Gravel plateau North of the snow fan, S2: In the upper part of the snow fan, S3: the lower part of the snow fan and S4: In front of the slope and snow fan. The soil temperature sensors were installed in 1995. Initially the temperature was recorded every fifth hour until 1996 where the logging interval was changed to very second hour, from 2005 the temperature has been recorded every hour.

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 ...
