Study Site: Isolated Patches Permafrost Zone, in northern Alberta, to the Continuous Permafrost Zone at Inuvik, NWT
Purpose: Recognizing that permafrost distributions are largely controlled by topography and climate, our IPY study documents local C cycling processes and GHG emissions as associated with vegetation, soil and permafrost environments along a climatic gradient from the Isolated Patches Permafrost Zone, in northern Alberta, to the Continuous Permafrost Zone at Inuvik, NWT.
Abstract: In order to understand variation in vegetation, soils, and permafrost, an extensive network of 26 sites has been established over the summers of 2007 and 2008, with four of these sites intensively monitored, from 2007 to the present, for C cycling and GHG exchange.
Supplemental Information Summary: This metadata record corresponds to an IPY project. Studies completed under this research project are identified as related materials. These studies can also be retrieved using the Polar Data Catalogue.
