TITLE: Barrow Biomass by Functional Type AUTHOR(S): PI: Donald Walker* Other Investigators: A. Moody *Phone: 907-474-2460, Email: ffdaw@uaf.edu, Physical Address: University of Alaska Fairbanks, Institute of Arctic Biology, P.O. Box 757000, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7000. http://www.geobotany.uaf.edu FUNDING: LAII/ATLAS - OPP 9908829 DATASET OVERVIEW DATA DESCRIPTION: This dataset contains biomass data sorted by plant functional type for the Barrow site. The data was collected in 1999. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION: Biomass was collected using a 20 x 50 cm aluminum frame. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING: Biomass "clips" were performed within the grid. The "clips" consist of clipping/collecting all biomass from within a 20 x 50 cm ( 0.1 m2) frame. In the lab, the biomass is then separated by functional type and by live/dead, then dried in the oven at 50 C, and weighed. DATA FORMAT: File Name = barrow_biomass_1999.xls (Excel format). It is a numeric data file. File size is 20K. This final version of the data file was submitted to JOSS 03/29/2002. For more data related to these sites, see: http://www.geobotany.uaf.edu
