Selawik Thaw Slump Tussock Meadow
Description
This site was installed in the summer of 2012. It is located near the massive thaw slump in the Selawik NWR. It is set back from the head-wall of the thaw slump in a tussock meadow area. We also have distributed sites with a few temperature measurements down to 1.5m in an Upland Alder Willow area and a Upland White Spruce area nearby.
Measurements
- Air Temperature
- Soil Temperature profile to 1.5m
