  • The LTER site Zöbelboden was equipped with highly modern infrastructure to assess the effects of extreme climate events on the forest ecosystem. The instruments include eddy covariance measurements for CO2 and water vapor fluxes at a tower (900 m a.s.l), and soil respiration auto-chambers, as well as combined sap flow sensors with automated dendrometers in the main footprint area of the eddy tower. This is the so called intensive plot 2 (IP2), which is equipped by a number of different field measurement devices for long-term monitoring (lysimeters water sampling, soil moisture and temperature sensors, manual dendrometers, deposition, litter fall) and supplemented by other monitoring activities (tree inventory, needle and leaf chemistry, soil chemistry). An optical multi-parameter probe for dissolved nitrogen and carbon was installed in the measuring weir of the catchment runoff at 577 m a.s.l. There, weekly water quality, runoff, and meteorology is monitored since many years. The related metadata refer to the soil respiration measurements.The raw data (exclusive periods of serious malfunction of the device) can be viewed and downloaded via the link provided using the station name “ZOE_0677P07”, “ZOE_0687P01”, “ZOE_0674P03”, “ZOE_0675P09”, “ZOE_0683P03”, “ZOE_0685P03”. Quality-assured data are available and will be provided by the contact person upon request. See methods for a short description of the QA-method.

  • This dataset provides data on automated high resolution soil respiration measurements as micromoles of Carbon dioxide per square metre per second. Automated high resolution soil measurements were carried out in campaigns in 2013 and 2014. Campaigns were carried out monthly between June and October 2013 and in June and August 2014 capturing the plants growing season. Data were collected from the climate change field site, Climoor, that is located in the Clocaenog forest, North East Wales. The experimental field site consists of three untreated control plots three plots where the plant canopy air is artificially warmed during night time hours and three plots where rainfall is excluded from the plots at least during the plants growing season (March to September). Measurements were taken with automated soil respiration chambers. The Climoor field experiment intends to answer questions regarding the effects of warming and drought on ecosystem processes. Plot level soil respiration measurements are important to investigate soil carbon dynamics and changes in soil carbon cycling and storage under the imposed climatic treatments. Soil respiration measurements were carried out by trained CEH Bangor members of staff.

  • This dataset contains soil respiration data from the Climoor fieldsite in Clocaenog forest, north-east Wales. Measurements began in March 1999 at the field site, and were repeated in approximately bi-weekly intervals until June 2015 (although there are some larger gaps for technical or logistical reasons in this 14 year dataset). The data were collected using 3 different methods/machines over the years: static chambers, soil respiration chamber and Environmental Gas Monitor (EGM)-4 (from PP Systems), and soil respiration chamber and Automated Soil Gas Flux System Li8100 (from Licor Biosciences). The method used is detailed in the data and described further in the supporting documentation. Data was collected by CEH staff and PhD students trained in the use of the different methods / machines. Climoor is a climate change manipulation experiment that utilises automated roof technology to produce drought and warming experimental treatments that reflect climate change predictions for the next 20-30 years.

  • Soil data of LTER Zöbelboden, Austria. Soil inventory is carried out since 1992 on regular positions (approx 65) in the catchment measuring soil chemistry. Soil water chemistry is measured in forest plots (2-3) using lysimeter sampling and analyses on a bi-weekly to monthly basis. Soil hydraulic characterizations exist for the major soil types in the catchment. Soil CO2 and N2O respiration data is available for some years

  • Nature reserve, Natura 2000, protected coniferous blueberry forest.

  • The Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF), located approximately 20 km southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, was established in 1963 with about 3360 ha (8,300 acres) of upland, interior Alaska boreal forest. In 1969, the experimental forest was enlarged to 5053 ha (12,487 acres) to include representative floodplain forests along the Tanana River. The Forest is within the Tanana Valley State Forest, a unit managed by the Division of Forestry, State of Alaska. In 1987 the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research program was established, with BCEF as its primary research site.

  • The ERO AgrHyS aims at studying the response time of hydro-chemical fluxes to the evolution of AgroHydroSystems. An AgroHydroSystem is considered as a catchment that is influence by agricultural activity. The ERO AgrHyS is conducted by the laboratory INRA-Agrocampus Sol, Agro-hydroSystems of Rennes. Two other labs, Geosciences Rennes and COSTEL Rennes, are associated to the ERO AgrHyS. It is part of the observation set-ups of the Observatory of the Sciences of the Universe of Rennes OSUR.
