Title: APEX fen control plot soil temperatures, 2005-Present
Contacts: Turetsky, Merritt

Cable, William
Abstract: Soil temperature measurements were recorded hourly at an array of depth at APEX alpha Fen from June 2005-Dec 2006. APEX Fen is located in the Bonanza Creek LTER outside of Fairbanks, AK. APEX Fen uses a full-factorial water table (flooded or raised, lowered or drained, and control treatments, as well as a moisture gradient) by warming manipulation (warmed, unwarmed treatment).
