GeoBasis Zackenberg - Soil properties - P6_Soil temperature_0.1m

Soil temperature is measured in 0, 10, 30 cm depth below a fen site, 400 meters Southeast of the Zackenberg station and about 50 meters south of the ZEROCALM-2 plot. The soil temperature sensors were installed in 1996 and recorded the temperature every second hour. Measurements were ended in 2002 (and 2000 for 0 cm), whereafter a new site was established 5 m from this site. The new site is called P6-2. Blank cells are missing data. Soil properties:Soil properties GeoBasis Zackenberg:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) programme, the Nordic Centre of Excellence DEFROST, the Danish Centre of Excellence CENPERM, the EU-projects PAGE21 and INTERACT, and the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University). The GeoBasis programme is divided into a number of sub-groups, including:
