Title:Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): leaf C, N, delta-13C, delta-15N at peak biomass; 2009-2019
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

The Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR) project addresses the following questions: 1) Does ecosystem warming cause a net release of C from the ecosystem to the atmosphere?, 2) Does the decomposition of old C, that comprises the bulk of the soil C pool, influence ecosystem C loss?, and 3) How do winter and summer warming alone, and in combination, affect ecosystem C exchange? We are answering these questions using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure ecosystem carbon balance and radiocarbon isotope ratios at a warming experiment located in an upland tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. This data set includes carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) elemental and isotope content in leaves collected from winter warming, summer warming, and control treatment plots at CiPEHR.

Description:

Experimental Design

The study site at the Eight Mile Lake (EML) watershed is located in the northern foothills of the Alaska Range. While permafrost thaw can sometimes result in water ponding, depending on local topography, this landscape consists largely of relatively well-drained uplands. The CiPEHR experiments were established in 2008 to complement research along a natural permafrost thaw gradient, at an adjacent site. At the permafrost-thaw gradient site permafrost temperature has been monitored annually in a 30-m-deep borehole since1985, before the permafrost started to thaw. There are two experimental warming treatments at the CiPEHR project: Winter warming (WW) increases soil temperature and ground thaw using snow fences; Summer warming (SW) increases growing season air temperature using open top chambers. The warming treatments are applied in a blocked split-plot design to evaluate the separate and combined effects of winter and summer warming. Leaves were collected in July for elemental and isotopic analysis.
