Title: Soil CO2 and CH4 Chamber Fluxes in Tussock Tundra, Council Road Mile Marker 71, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2016-2019

Abstract

In August-September 2016, June-August 2017, June-August 2018, and June 2019, co-located measurements were made of surface CH4 and CO2 flux, soil temperature, moisture, and thaw depth. Measurements were made at 35 chamber locations at the Council Mile Marker 71 Site (CN_MM71) on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Chamber locations include upland moist acidic tussock tundra, thermo-erosional slopes, and periodically inundated lowland water channels. The dataset includes three *.csv data files with measurements using transparent and opaque chambers (CO2 and CH4 fluxes in light and dark) plus one *.pdf user guide.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scalemore » modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).« less
