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

Conlin, Molly
Cable, William
Abstract: Soil temperature measurements were recorded hourly at an array of depths at APEX Fen beginning June 2005. 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).
Keywords: experimental warming,  peatland,  soil climate manipulation,  soil temperature,  warming,  water table manipulation,  wetlands,
