(508) 289 7496 arc_im@mbl.edu http://ecosystems.mbl.edu/ARC/ METHODS: This is the main species list describing plant species encountered during the ITEX survey. Plots were established for measuring flux data and for harvesting biomass for analysis. All species found in flux and/or harvest plots are summarized in this table. If a species was found in a particular location, it is checked under the appropriate column (Abisko, AR Burn, Barrow, Svalbard, Toolik, or Zackenberg). Species codes are made from the first 3 letters of genus and species names. If only the genus is known, the genus code is followed by SPP. COMMENTS: Note that this list is not comprehensive, species present in very low abundance were not identified. Many species, particularly graminoids, were identified only to genus.

To achieve this goal the Arctic LTER uses several approaches: Long-term monitoring and surveys of natural variation of ecosystem characteristics in space and time. Includes: climate, plant communities and productivity, thaw depth, stream flow, chemistry of streams and lakes, temperatures of streams and lakes, lake chlorophyll lake productivity, zooplankton abundance. Experimental manipulation of ecosystems for years and decades. Includes: tundra warming, shading, and fertilizing, grazer exclusions, fertilization of lakes and streams, addition and subtraction of predators. Synthesis of results and predictive modeling at ecosystem and watershed scales. Includes: stream N cycling, lake physics, bioenergetics of fish populations, water movement and transfer of DOC and nutrients from land to water, soil respiration, cycling and storage of C in tundra under different scenarios of future climates.

Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in the material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. The Arctic LTER research site (68°N and 149°W) is in the foothills region of the North Slope of Alaska and includes the entire Toolik Lake watershed and the adjacent watershed of the upper Kuparuk River, down to the confluence of these two watersheds. This area is typical of the northern foothills of the Brooks Range, with continuous permafrost, no trees, a complete snow cover for 7 to 9 months, winter ice cover on lakes, streams, and ocean, and cessation of river flow during the winter. Tussock tundra vegetation of sedges and grasses mixed with dwarf birch and low willows form the dominant vegetation type with areas of drier heath tundra on ridge tops and other well-drained sites as well as areas of river-bottom willow communities. -149.75 -149.0433 68.8 68.5 610 1360 meter 2003-2009gsspecieslist.csv List of plant species and species codes for ITEX flux survey 2003-2009gsspecieslist.csv 1 \r\n column , " http://metacat.lternet.edu/das/dataAccessServlet?docid=knb-lter-arc.10008&urlTail=terrest/tracegas/data/2003-2009gsspecieslist.csv SPECIES SPECIES species name species name CODE CODE 6 letter code use for species name 6 letter code use for species name FUNCTIONAL GROUP FUNCTIONAL GROUP functional group to which the species belongs functional group to which the species belongs ABISKO ABISKO whether or not found in Abisko whether or not found in Abisko AR BURN AR BURN whether or not found at the Anaktuvuk River Burn whether or not found at the Anaktuvuk River Burn BARROW BARROW wether or not found in Barrow wether or not found in Barrow SVALBARD SVALBARD whether or not found in Svalbard whether or not found in Svalbard TOOLIK TOOLIK whether or not found Toolik whether or not found Toolik ZACKENBERG ZACKENBERG whether or not found at Zackenberg whether or not found at Zackenberg 134 2003-2009gsspecieslist.xls An excel file that has worksheets with the metadata and data. 2003-2009gsspecieslist.xls Microsoft Excel http://metacat.lternet.edu/das/dataAccessServlet?docid=knb-lter-arc.10008&urlTail=terrest/tracegas/xlsfiles/2003-2009gsspecieslist.xls Microsoft Excel file
