The BOREAS group TE-05 collected measurements in the NSA and SSA on gas exchange, gas composition and tree growth. This data set contains measurements of the concentration and stable carbon (13C/12C) and oxygen (18O/16O) isotope ratios of atmospheric CO2 in air samples collected at different heights within forest canopies. The data were collected to determine the influence of photosynthesis and respiration by the forest ecosystems on the concentration and stable isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2. These measurements were collected at the SSA during each IFC at OJP, OBS, and OA sites. Measurements were also collected at the NSA during each 1994 IFC at the OJP, T6R5S TE UBS, and T2Q6A TE OA sites. The stable isotope ratios are expressed using standard delta notation and in units of per mil. The isotope ratios are expressed relative to the international standard, PDB, for both carbon and oxygen samples.

Contains leaf carbon isotope data collected by TE-05 during 1994.

This data set reports stable isotope ratio data of CO2 (13C/12C and 18O/16O) associated with photosynthetic and respiratory exchanges across the biosphere-atmosphere boundary. Measurements were made at selected AmeriFlux sites including Harvard Forest, Howland Forest, Rannells Flint Hills Prairie, Niwot Ridge Forest, and the Wind River Canopy Crane Site, which span the dominant ecosystem types of the United States. These data were collected periodically from 2001 through 2004 and are available as an ASCII comma separated file.The goal of this Terrestrial Carbon Processes (TCP) project is to better capture isotopic effects of ecosystem-atmosphere interaction at diurnal, seasonal and interannual time scales by long-term monitoring 13C of CO2 exchange with the atmosphere at weekly intervals. Photosynthesis and respiration in terrestrial ecosystems have opposite effects on diurnal and seasonal patterns on atmospheric CO2 concentration and isotope ratios. This isotopic variation contains information about the functioning of different terrestrial ecosystems.

The BOREAS TE-01 team collected various data to characterize the soil-plant systems in the BOREAS SSA. Particular emphasis was placed on nutrient biochemistry, the stores and transfers of organic carbon and how the characteristics were related to measured methane fluxes. The overall transect in the Prince Albert National Park (Saskatchewan, Canada) included the major plant communities and related soils that occurred in that section of the boreal forest. Soil physical, chemical and biological measurements along the transect were used to characterize the static environment, which allowed them to be related to methane fluxes. Chamber techniques were used to provide a measure of methane production/uptake. Chamber measurements coupled with flask sampling were used to determine the seasonality of methane fluxes. This particular data set contains carbon dioxide and methane flux values from the SSA-OBS site. The data were collected from 09-JUN to 04-SEP-1994.

Automated measurements of CO2 exchange at the moss surface of NSA-OBS.

These data were collected by BOREAS TE-05 to provide detailed information within the canopy during times when TE-05 sampled canopy CO2 for carbon and oxygen isotope analysis. These measurements were made in both the NSA and SSA during each IFC at the OJP, OBS, UBS, and OA sites. CO2 profile data were not collected at SSA-OA during the first IFC.

Contains the TGB-05 CO, CO2, and CH4 flux data for sites in the Boreas Northern Study Area.

The BOREAS TF-04 team measured fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) across the soil-air interface in four ages of jack pine forest at the Southern Study Area of the Boreal Ecosystem Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) during August 1993 to March 1995. Gross and net flux of CO2 and flux of CH4 between soil and air are presented for 24 chamber sites in mature jack pine forest, 20-year old, 4- year old, and clear cut areas.

The BOREAS group TE-05 collected measurements in the NSA and SSA on gas exchange, gas composition and tree growth. This documentation describes leaf carbon isotope data that were collected in 1993 and 1994 at the NSA and SSA OJP, OBS and NSA UBS sites. In addition, leaf carbon isotope data were collected in 1994 only at the NSA and SSA OA sites. These data were collected to provide seasonal integrated physiological information for 10 to 15 common species at these 6 BOREAS sites.
