Study Site: Saskatchewan - Western Boreal, forest burned in 1977
Purpose: To gather CO2 fluxes from ground impacted by wildfires
Abstract: CO2 fluxes for a previously burnt boreal evergreen forest in Saskatchewan. Regenerated jack pine (Pinus banksiana) following fire in 1977; canopy height 6 m and LAI = 2.8. Some black spruce understory developing. Trees tend to be clumpy, with some clear spaces that can be easily walked thorugh, and other areas are thick. Fire killed coarse woody debris on the ground, that is soft and decomposing. Very few perched trunks. Understory are short shrubs such as Vaccinium and Arctostaphylus uva-ursi.
