AmeriFlux US-GL2 Granite Island

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-GL2 Granite Island. Site Description - Granite Island is a small island on Lake Superior approximately 10 miles due north of Marquette, Michigan. It is roughly 6.5 miles from shore and is occupied by a lighthouse, bell tower, Coast Guard light tower, and other small structures. A flux tower to measure H, LE, and meteorological data was installed atop the bell tower in July of 2009 and has been in continuous operation since then (aside from occasional power outages or other sources of data loss). CO2 measurements were added to the flux tower in October of 2010.

AmeriFlux CA-PB2 Polar Bear 2 - Fen

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-PB2 Polar Bear 2 - Fen. Site Description - Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change's Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Branch has established five carbon flux monitoring towers in Ontario’s Far North as part of its Climate Change Modelling and Monitoring program. These long term monitoring stations measure carbon exchange and a suite of soil and meteorological parameters over peatland ecosystems to better understand carbon cycling in Ontario’s Far North. Information produced by these monitoring stations will assist the province in land use planning and the development of climate change adaptation strategies.

AmeriFlux US-BFS Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-BFS Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station. Site Description - The Bernard Field Station (BFS), an 86-acre academic resource of the Claremont University Consortium, is situated within the campus of The Claremont Colleges in Claremont, CA. Its principal habitats comprise coastal sage scrub, Riversidian alluvial fan scrub, live oak forest, and grassland. The eddy covariance tower is located in the 'neck' of the field station, home to a protected area of Coastal Sage Scrub, dominated by Artemisia californica. BFS is within walking distance of Harvey Mudd College, serving as an invaluable outdoor laboratory resource for the students. With extensive flora and fauna, including over 170 species of birds, 27 species of mammals, and more than 700 species of insects, it embodies a significant ecological haven in the region that is otherwise Southern California suburbs.
