AmeriFlux CA-SCC Scotty Creek Landscape

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-SCC Scotty Creek Landscape. Site Description - The Scotty Creek flux tower is located in an organic-rich boreal forest-wetland landscape about 50 km south of Fort Simpson in the Taiga Plains of the Mackenzie watershed. The tower was installed in 2013 and operates an open-path EC system year-round running on solar power only. Flux footprints contain about 50 % forested peat plateaus and 50 % wetlands (i.e., collapse-scar bogs). The forests are underlain by permafrost, while the treeless wetlands are permafrost-free. The tower itself is located on a forested peat plateau. Black spruce tree density on plateaus is sparse and the mean canopy height is ca. 5 m.

本数据集为站点CA-SCC斯科蒂溪景观（Scotty Creek Landscape）的碳通量数据北美通量观测网络（AmeriFlux）版本。站点说明：斯科蒂溪通量塔坐落于马更些流域泰加平原地区辛普森堡以南约50公里处的富有机质寒带森林-湿地景观中。该塔于2013年架设完成，全年运行开放式路径涡度相关（open-path EC）系统，仅以太阳能供电。通量足迹（flux footprints）覆盖区域约包含50%森林覆盖的泥炭高原与50%湿地（即塌陷痕沼泽）。森林区域地下发育永久冻土，而无林木的湿地则无永久冻土。通量塔本身即位于一处森林覆盖的泥炭高原之上。高原区域的黑云杉密度较为稀疏，平均冠层高度约为5米。
