Title: Carbon Dioxide Fluxes from an Evergreen Forest with Burn Damage in Central Manitoba
Citation: dataset citation with doi
Study Site: UCI-1930 burn site, central Manitoba, Canada
Purpose: The site is a member of a chronological series of sites that are representative secondary succession growth stages after large stand replacement fires. Black spruce trees undergo a slow growth process enabling the accurate determination of the chronosequence of stand age disturbance. Additionally, boreal forests make up approximately 25% of forest ecosystems on earth. With both of these in mind, the UCI sites provide an excellent location to study the CO2 exchange between the atmosphere and boreal forest ecosystems as a function of sequential wildfires.
