This dataset contains Thule Ecosystem Flux data and represents estimates of net carbon dioxide exchange, respiration and photosynthesis (umol m-2 s-1) from high arctic ecosystems on the northwest coast of Greenland, near Thule (76 31'N, 68 30'W). Measurements were taken in six different ecosystems: Polar desert, Polar semi-desert, Polar oasis, Polar desert deglaciated < 2 years, Polar desert deglaciated ~50 years, Polar desert deglaciated >100 years.
