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 CO2 flux light response curves were measured on 1m x 1m plots across the arctic. This file contains the CO2 and H2O flux measurements and NDVI data for each plot. Survey plots were located in the Toolik Lake LTER fertilization experiment in Alaska; at Imnavait Creek, Alaska; at Paddus, Latnjajaure and the Stepps site near Abisko in northern Sweden; at various sites in Adventdalen, Svalbard; in the Zackenberg valley, Northeast Greenland; at BEO near Barrow, Alaska and at the Anaktuvuk River Burn in Alaska. Measurements were made during the growing seasons 2003 to 2009.
