Boreal Forest
Observatory
|
The observatory consists of two fixed micrometerological towers in an
upland (warm and dry) and a lowland site (cold and wet) in addition to
satellite sites along an elevational gradient in the Chugach Mountains
near Anchorage, Alaska. The two fixed towers support a suite of
sensors that measure soil and air temperatures, soil moisture and
relative humidity, as well as photosynthetically active radiation and
wind speed. In addition, we are measuring CO2 concentrations in the
forest canopy, CO2 efflux through the snowpack in winter and rates of
soil respiration during the summer. |
