| Summary: | This dataset provides the results of laboratory soil microcosm incubation experiments conducted under anaerobic conditions with and without the addition of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). The microcosms contained soil collected in April 2017 from the NGEE Arctic Teller Road Site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) near Intensive Site 9 (?Toeslope?) and Intensive Site 5 (?Plateau?). Incubations were conducted at 8°C for 55 days, with repeated measurements of headspace greenhouse gas concentrations. Microcosms were destructively harvested and extracted using ultrapure water and 0.1 M KCl for analysis of the porewater geochemistry. 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). |
