Study Site: Lutose, Alberta
Purpose: Lutose is a peat plateau that burned from a moderate forest fire in June 2007. Prior to the fire the site was likley an open canopy of stunted black spruce and a ground layer of Labrador tea shurbs and lichen or sphagnum. No black spruce survived the fire and lichens were still completely absent during this study. By 2019, most charred tree boles has fallen over and vegetation recovery was dominated by dense Labrador tea shrubs and sparse regenerating black spruce with around >150cm of peat.
Abstract: This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-LU2 Lutose.
