Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): 2022 Destructive Vegetation Harvest biomass, C, N, delta-13C, delta-15N
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
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 biomass, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) elemental and isotope content in leaves, stems/corms, tissues, litter, and rhizomes collected from winter warming, summer warming, and control treatment plots at CiPEHR.
