At all plots, spectral reflectance was measured using a portable spectrometer configured with a straight fiber optic foreoptic, surface temperatures were measured using a handheld Everest Infrared Thermometer, and thaw depth (or active layer depth) was measured using a metal rod graduated in centimeter intervals. At small plots (~15 cm) at Utqiagvik (referred to as Patch plots) chambers were constructed that enclosed an individual patch to determine photosynthetic rate and estimate respiration rate (made by covering the chamber in a dark cloth). Efficiency using PAM fluorometer, ambient yield estimations, and rapid light curve measurements were taken. Chlorophyll concentration was measured with a portable spectrometer configured as a spectrophotometer. At larger plots (approximately 1 m2) which were part of the International Tundra EXperiment (ITEX plots) at Utqiagvik (referred to as Barrow) and Atqasuk, a sub-sample of five control and five warmed plots at each site were fitted with 0.45 m diameter polyvinyl chloride collars for chamber flux measurements. To determine the total fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), a series of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) measurements were made using a custom-made light bar consisting of a linear array of GaAsP sensors mounted within an aluminum U-bar under a white plastic diffuser. In addition, a visual estimate was made of the fraction of standing dead vegetation based on percent cover. The data are provided in comma-separated values (*.csv) format.  In addition, photographs of plots and instruments are provided.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C2262495116-ORNL_CLOUD.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://above.nasa.gov", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://daac.ornl.gov/ABOVE/guides/TundraVeg_Reflectance_Soil_CO2_Fig1.jpg", "format": "JPEG", "mediaType": "image/jpeg"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/protected/bundle/TundraVeg_Reflectance_Soil_CO2_1960.zip", "format": "ZIP", "mediaType": "application/zip"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/public/above/TundraVeg_Reflectance_Soil_CO2/comp/TundraVeg_Reflectance_Soil_CO2.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1960", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C2262495116-ORNL_CLOUD", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}], "identifier": "10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1960", "keyword": ["earth-science-atmospheric-chemistry-atmosphere-carbon-and-hydrocarbon-compounds", "earth-science-atmospheric-temperature-atmosphere-surface-temperature", "earth-science-ecosystems-biosphere-terrestrial-ecosystems", "earth-science-frozen-ground-land-surface-active-layer", "earth-science-soils-land-surface-permafrost", "earth-science-soils-land-surface-soil-temperature", "earth-science-surface-radiative-properties-land-surface-reflectance", "earth-science-vegetation-biosphere-leaf-characteristics", "earth-science-vegetation-biosphere-pigments", "earth-science-vegetation-biosphere-vegetation-species"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-23", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "ORNL_DAAC"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -157.407, \"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 71.32, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": -156.598, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": 70.453}]]", "temporal": "2001-06-08/2002-08-16", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "Tundra Plant Reflectance, CO2 Exchange, PAM Fluorometry, and Pigments, AK,  2001-2002"}
