Long-term Air Temperature Record, Agashashok River, Alaska, 2006-2019
The position of the Arctic treeline is an important regulator of surface energy budgets, carbon cycling and subsistence resources in high latitude environments. It has long been thought that temperature exerts a direct control on growth of treeline trees and the position of the treeline. However, ou...

The position of the Arctic treeline is an important regulator of surface energy budgets, carbon cycling and subsistence resources in high latitude environments. It has long been thought that temperature exerts a direct control on growth of treeline trees and the position of the treeline. However, our recent work on white spruce in the Arctic suggests that indirect effects of temperature on tree access to soil nutrients may be of equal or greater importance. Our recent results provide correlative evidence of the importance of winter snow depth as a driver of tree growth. The aim of this project was to experimentally isolate the importance of snow depth and soil nutrient availability and examine the consequences for microbial processes, tree growth and treeline advance. This dataset contains hourly measurements of air temperature made at 2 meter (m) height on a riverside terrace between June 1, 2006 and August 30, 2019. |
