This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-UR6 Napi - UCRB. Site Description - This site is located in Farmington, New Mexico, within a flat terrain and irrigated by a center pivot system. The region has a semi-arid climate, with warm summers and mild winters. The area is predominantly covered by alfalfa, which thrives in the irrigated conditions.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-UR7 Olathe - UCRB. Site Description - This site is located in Olathe, Colorado, within a flat terrain, and is characterized by a grassland ecosystem. The region has a humid continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters.
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.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-NSa NASA HAQ - SJV East Irrigated Vineyard. Site Description - Irrigated vineyard site located on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley, utilizing drip irrigation. The flux tower is situated in the southeastern corner of a 200 * 300 m vineyard containing about 20 rows of grapevines. Surrounding land is primarily cultivated with other crops, mostly grapevines as well.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-NSb NASA HAQ - SJV West Irrigated Cotton. Site Description - Irrigated cotton field loated on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, utilizing furrow irrigation. The flux tower is situated in the southeastern corner of a 200 * 300 m field densely planted with Egyptian cotton. Surrounding land is primarily cultivated with other crops.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-IAC Iowa State University SE tower. Site Description - This is a 4 ha (200 m x 200 m) sorghum-corn-soybean rotation established at the Sustainable Advanced Bioeconomy Research (SABR) farm at Iowa State University. The site has a long history of conventional row-cropping, predominantly corn-soy rotations. In the immediately preceding growing season, soybeans were grown at the SABR farm.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-TKs Toolik Shrub Tundra. Site Description - Long term site of snow fence manipulation experiment in shrub tundra ecosystem
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-GCE Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER Flux Tower. Site Description - Spartina alterniflora-dominated salt marsh on the interior of Sapelo Island, a barrier island on the Georgia Coast. The GCE-LTER research program was initiated in September 2000, and the eddy covariance flux tower was deployed in the salt marsh in July 2013. Septmber - March has North-northeast winds has SURFACE_HOMOGENEITY of 270m.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-UR4 Gunnison - UCRB. Site Description - This site is located in Gunnison, Colorado, within a floodplain at a notable elevation. The region experiences cold winters with significant snow cover and cool summers. The ecosystem is homogeneous over an extended distance, providing a stable environment for consistent and reliable environmental studies.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-MZA Hidden Marsh, Montezuma NWR. Site Description - This is a restored (from Ag) emergent marsh system located in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. It is dominated by cattail most of the time, but experiences periodic, managed drying that produces other drier wetland vegetation types. In 2024, it was inundated and had abundant Typha and Phragmites.
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.
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-PLo Plum Island Oligohaline Marsh. Site Description - The site is a tidal oligohaline marsh located within the Plum Island Sound estuary, which is characterized by a tidal range of 2.5-3m and a vegetation cover of Typha angustifolia. Porewater salinity changes seasonally as influenced by freshwater discharge. Elevation is about 1.4m NAVD88.
