SITE
DESCRIPTION
Active layer
monitoring at the Nadym CALM grid was initiated in
1997. Since 1972 annual thaw depth monitoring was conducted at several
transects and 10х10 m plots characteristic of dominant landscapes of the Nadum region and adjacent to the CALM grid. The Nadym site is located in the northern taiga with sporadic
permafrost on the III fluvial-lacustrine plain with elevation ranging from 25 to
SOIL DESCRIPTION:
(predominant texture, i.e., ‘sand’, ‘gravel’,
‘peat’, etc.): Dystri-Cryic and Dystri-Gelic Histosols (sandy)
and Sphagnic Cryofibrists
SAMPLING DESIGN AND METHOD:
1-ha
grid consists of a square array of permanent stakes separated by 10 m, yielding
an 11 × 11 array of sampling nodes on each grid. Thaw depth sampling was
conducted at least twice by manual probing at each stake. The two (or more) values for
each sampling point are averaged, yielding a maximum of 121 data points per
grid per probing date.
