Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): snow depth manual data, 2009-2016

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 manual measurements of snow depth collected in early spring on winter warming and control treatment plots.

永久冻土碳实验加热研究（Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research, CiPEHR）项目旨在解答以下问题：1）生态系统升温是否会引发碳从生态系统向大气的净释放？2）占土壤碳库主体的老碳分解是否会对生态系统碳流失产生影响？3）单独及联合实施的冬季、夏季升温会如何影响生态系统碳交换？本项目结合野外与实验室实验手段，在位于阿拉斯加山脉山麓、阿拉斯加希利附近的高地苔原实验场地的升温实验中，测量生态系统碳平衡与放射性碳同位素比值。本数据集包含早春时节在冬季升温处理样地与对照处理样地中采集的雪深手动测量数据。
