Description:
|
- Photometer is mounted on the SW Corner of the NEON observation tower. Tower is metal frame, 26' tall. NOTE: the tower height is NOT included in the elevation stated above in part d. (TOOL - Toolik Lake - Bureau of Land Management) The ecosystem inside the tower airshed and around tower is dominated by dry acidic tundra and mixed with moist acidic tundra. Shrub tundra is observed on the lower hill slope on the west to tower. Plants include tussock tundra grass, salmon berry, dwarf birch, etc. Distance between tussock and inter-tussock is ~30 cm (max), and ~15 cm (mean). Mean canopy height is ~30 cm. Plants were in active growing season and blooming during FIU site characterization in June 19, 2010. Moss layer is very thick (can be >20 cm). Sometimes our CS616 and RTD sensors (~20 cm) cannot go through the moss layer to reach mineral soil layer. Organic soil is dark, rich and thick. Mineral soil is rocky.
