Description
Summary:Three observational sites (ENGAYU, RAI-IZ, LPTEG) were established in 2018 on the eastern slope of the Polar Urals range near the city of Salekhard of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, Russia. Each site contained four to five plots in the vicinity of about 1000 meters across a defined vegetation gradient, from the areas with tall and dense vegetation cover (FOREST), to the areas of tall and sparse vegetation (TREES), and to the areas of short vegetation dominated by sedges, mosses and dwarf shrubs (TUNDRA). At each plot, meteorological towers were erected and instrumented with above and below ground measuring equipment. The data was collected continuously from 2018 to 2021 with 30 to 60 min time interval. The data underwent quality assurance and data management protocols and were organized into three datasets: (i) subsurface and above ground observations (precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, four-channel radiation fluxes, net radiation, albedo, soil heat flux), (ii) below ground ...
