Resource Allocation and Allometry of Plant Growth in the Arctic
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.208

Summary
This data set is comprised of several sets of data from Toolik Lake, Alaska.
They are part of the the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) project
investigating Key Constraints on Change and Predictability of the Arctic
System. Trace gas data include: Net Ecosystem Production (NEP), Ecosystem
Respiration (ER) and methane emissions measured in fertilized, warmed and
control plots in 3 tundra types at Toolik Lake, from 1991 to 1993; soil
respiration measured in treatment plots in moist acidic and non-acidic tundra
in 2000; NEP and ER, plus soil temperature, soil moisture and vegetation
descriptions for the ITEX flux survey plots, 2003 to 2006. ITEX data include
measurements made at Toolik Lake and Imnavait Creek, at Abisko in northern
Sweden, in Adventdalen, Svalbard and in Zackenberg valley, northeast
Greenland. The data are available through the Arctic Long Term Ecological
Research Site (LTER) and a link to their web site for downloading the trace
gases data is below.
