SpecNet Field Sites
Thule, NW Greenland
Site name: Thule, NW Greenland
PI or PIs: Heidi Steltzer and Jeff Welker
Type of flux measurements being conducted: CO2 flux using chambers
Type of optical sampling being conducted: field reflectance
Coordinates (lat-lon) of site: 76° 33' N 68 ° 34' W
Type of ecosystem: High Arctic, prostrate dwarf shrub herb tundra
Additional notes : The measurements of spectral reflectance and ecosystem
CO2 exchange are being conducted in a climate change experiment. The
experiment includes multiple levels of warming and a 50% increase in summer
precipitation. Measurements are made throughout the growing season since
2004. We have also developed an NDVI-LAI model for this ecosystem (Steltzer and Welker 2006, Ecology 87:2765-2772).
