This is a study of how different snow regimes effect CO2 exchange in tussock tundra and whether there are shifts in ecosystem C cycling when facets of "drift" effects are isolated. The study is part of the IPY program and is aimed at measuring the state of Arctic tundra.

This is a study of how different snow regimes effect CO2 exchange in tussock tundra and whether there are shifts in ecosystem C cycling when facets of "drift" effects are isolated. The study is part of the IPY program and is aimed at measuring the state of Arctic tundra.
Ecosystem-level Carbon dioxide fluxes were measured in two long-term experimental wet sedge tundra sites near Toolik Lake, AK. Experimental treatments at each site included factorial NxP, greenhouse and shade house and were begun in 1985 (Sag site) or in 1988 (Toolik sites). Fluxes were measured on quadrats that were later sampled for biomass and leaf area.
