Description
Summary:Carbon, Nitrogen and Leaf Mass Area of leaves sampled from locations on the Kougarok Rd (transect A) & Teller Rd NGEE Arctic study sites, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Species include: Alnus viridis spp. fruticosa, Arctostaphylos rubra, Betula glandulosa, Chamerion latifolium, Petasites frigidus, Salix alaxensis, Salix glauca, Salix pulchra, Salix richardsonii and Vaccinium uliginosum.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a 10-year research effort (2012-2022) to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy?s Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy?s Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
