Elevated Soil Temperature and Water Table Manipulation Data from Barrow,
Alaska, 1999-2001
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS905

Summary
This data set contains elevated soil temperature and water table manipulation
measurements taken at a tundra site near Barrow, Alaska, USA. Eighteen 60-cm
diameter polycarbonate cylinders were installed into the ground at the end of
the 1998 growing season when thaw depth was at its seasonal maximum to isolate
plots of tundra. The cylinders were organized into three blocks of six for
three replicates of the six treatments to be tested. The six factors tested
include: control, elevated water table, lowered water table, elevated soil
temperature, elevated soil temperature and elevated water table, and elevated
soil temperature and lowered water table. Temperature data were collected from
June 1999, until September 2001. Measurements were taken as part of the
Land-Atmosphere-Ice Interactions Arctic Transitions in the Land-Atmosphere
System (LAII-ATLAS) program. The research project was funded by the Arctic
System Sciences (ARCSS) Program, grant number OPP-9732105.
