Micrometeorological CO2 Flux Data at Teshio CC-LaG Experiment site (TSE)

The Teshio CC-LaG Experiment site (TSE) is located in a conifer-broadleaf mixed forest in the northernmost part of Japan. In order to observe the effects of forestry activities on the carbon, water and materials cycles of forest ecosystems, long-term monitoring of CO2 flux was started in 2001. The trees in the area of 13.7 ha were clear-cut and larch trees were planted in 2003. We monitor and evaluate the changes in forest ecosystem structure and functions along with the growth of larch, and assess the impacts on the process of carbon cycle on a regional scale by applying particular techniques such as the eddy covariance method and remote sensing. This data set includes ecosystem CO2 flux, and sensible and latent heat flux which were measured with eddy covariance methods, and meteorological items, such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and radiation. The meteorological conditions affect plants growth, and they were measured at multiple points of height/depth ranging from 32m height on a flux observation tower to 1.2m depth at forest floor. This dataset is also provided by the AsiaFlux Database (http://asiaflux.net/index.php?page_id=23).
