CO2 fluxes and ancillary meteo-climatic variables (CZO@Bayelva)

Observing Earth critical zone processes in the Bayelva basin (CZO@Bayelva). Data represents the average values and the corresponding standard deviation of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Ecosystem Respiration (ER) and Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) obtained from two different sites in the tundra of the Bayelva river basin: One site (named CZ) is located in the vicinity of the Climate Change Tower. The other one (named "Airport") is in the vicinity of the Ny Alesund Airport. Each average value is obtained as a mean over a set of around 20 point measures for each plot and each sampling date. Flux data are complemented by measurements of soil temperature, soil volumetric water content, air temperature and relative humidity, and solar irradiance. CO2 fluxes are measured using a flux chamber and a LI-COR IRGA by means of the Dynamic Flux Chamber method.
