SPRUCE Large-Collar In Situ CO2 and CH4 Flux Data for the SPRUCE Experimental Plots

Description

This data set reports community-level CO₂ and CH₄ flux measurements for the SPRUCE experimental study plots located in the S1-Bog. Surface flux measurements of CO₂ and CH₄ were made using open-path analyzers over an area of 1.13 m²within each of 16 plots. A custom-designed chamber encloses the hummock-hollow topography and allows point in time measurements of the shrub, forb, Sphagnum spp. and the complex microbial community. These observations were made with ambient light and imposed dark conditions to allow estimates of community daytime and night respiratory processes. Measurements were collected seasonally starting in 2011 and have continued through 2016. Data collection will continue and the new data will be added periodically.
