This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-MA2 Manitoba Agricultural Site 2. Site Description - This field had been in perennial forages (grass with small amount of legume) for several decades. Field size = 60 ha. In 2009, the producer tilled the land so that part of the summer had perennial forage, and the remainder was fallow (see effect outlined by Fraser and Amiro 2013). In 2010, oats were planted. In 2011, the field was too wet to plant and remained fallow. Cattle were in the field for a brief period in June 2011to feed on weeds. See Table 2 in Taylor et al (2013) describing site management practices.
