Title: Methane fluxes from APEX fen, 2005-2006
Contacts: Turetsky, Merritt

Kane, Evan
Abstract: Methane fluxes were collected at APEX rich fen during the summers of 2005 and 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).
Keywords: experimental warming,  methane,  peatland,  soil climate manipulation,  water table manipulation,  wetlands,
