Environmental and vegetation control on active layer and soil temperature in an Arctic tundra ecosystem in Alaska ...
The sites of this research are near Utqiaġvik, Alaska (formerly known as Barrow), which is the largest town in the Alaskan North Slope Borough. Our team has and continues to maintain several micrometeorological and eddy covariance towers in Utqiaġvik over the last decades (Zona et al. 2016). This re...

| Summary: | The sites of this research are near Utqiaġvik, Alaska (formerly known as Barrow), which is the largest town in the Alaskan North Slope Borough. Our team has and continues to maintain several micrometeorological and eddy covariance towers in Utqiaġvik over the last decades (Zona et al. 2016). This research was conducted near two of these eddy covariance towers, which were in operation from 2005-2009 (Fig. 1b, the US-Ben (North), and US-Bec (Central) sites, established during the Biocomplexity Experiment, see Zona et al. 2009; Zona et al. 2012). Environmental drivers (such as air temperature, and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR)) measured from an additional currently operational tower (US-Bes), in close proximity to the US-Ben and US-Bes sites, were also included in this study. The locations of the US-Bes, US-Bec, and US-Ben are: 71.2809N, -156.5965W; 71.28316N, -156.60342W; and 71.28628N, -156.60424W respectively (Zona et al. 2009). These sites are located in a drain lake basin ecosystem and a mixed ... |
