BOREAS TGB-08 Monoterpene Concentration Data over the SSA-OBS and the SSA-OJP

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 04, 2026 at 11:00 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
The TGB-08 team collected data to investigate the controls over non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) fluxes from boreal forest tree species. This data set contains measurements of monoterpene concentrations in collected foliar gas emissions and foliar samples. The data were collected at the Old Jack Pine (OJP) and Old Black Spruce(OBS) tower-flux sites in the SSA and were the locus for the monoterpene emission measurements. These areas contained mature stands of jack pine and black spruce and were the focal sites in the BOREAS program for studies of biosphere/atmosphere exchange from these two habitat types. The OBS site is situated in a black spruce/sphagnum bog with the largest trees 155 years old and 10-15 m. tall. The OJP site is in a jack pine forest, 80 to 120 years old, which lies on a sandy bench of glacial outwash with the largest tree standing 15 m. tall. Temporally, the data cover the period of 24-May-94 to 19-Sep-94.
