AmeriFlux AmeriFlux CR-SoC Soltis Center

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CR-SoC Soltis Center. Site Description - The Texas A&M Soltis Center for Research and Education is located in San Juan de Peñas Blancas, San Ramón, Costa Rica. In 2009, Charles W. "Bill" and Wanda Soltis donated a new facility to the university and granted it a long-term lease on the adjacent 250 acres of land. The site hosts both primary and secondary growth rainforest, the later of which was selectively logged between the 1950's and the 1990's. It is best classified as a lower montane forest, located in the transitional area between the upper and lower montane cloud forests and the lowland rainforests. Temperatures average 23°C with 4200 mm/yr of rainfall; a short drier period typically occurs between January and April. Estimates suggest that the site hosts more than 2000 species of vascular plants, with dominant vegetation types including plants in the Sapotaceae, Moracea, and Malvaceae families.

本数据集为站点CR-SoC Soltis Center的美洲通量网（AmeriFlux）碳通量数据版本。站点描述如下：得克萨斯农工大学索蒂斯研究与教育中心（Texas A&M Soltis Center for Research and Education）坐落于哥斯达黎加圣拉蒙的圣胡安·德·佩尼亚布兰卡。2009年，查尔斯·W·“比尔”·索蒂斯与旺达·索蒂斯向该校捐赠了全新设施，并为毗邻的250英亩土地授予了长期租赁使用权。该区域共存原生雨林与次生雨林，其中次生雨林于1950年代至1990年代间经历了选择性采伐。该站点最佳归类为低山地森林，地处山地云雾林上下带与低地雨林的过渡区域。区域年均气温23℃，年降水量达4200毫米，通常在每年1月至4月间存在一段短暂旱季。据估算，该区域维管植物物种超过2000种，优势植被类群包括山榄科（Sapotaceae）、桑科（Moraceae）与锦葵科（Malvaceae）植物。
