Elevated Soil Temperature and Water Table Manipulation Data from Barrow, Alaska, 1999-2001

Entry ID: ARCSS905

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set contains elevated soil temperature and water table manipulation measurements taken at a tundra site near Barrow, Alaska, USA. Eighteen 60-cm diameter polycarbonate cylinders were installed into the ground at the end of the 1998 growing season when thaw depth was at its seasonal maximum to isolate plots of tundra. The cylinders were organized into three blocks of six for three ...
