SAMPLING
DESIGN AND METHOD:
1-ha grid consists of a square
array of surveyed permanent stakes separated by 10 m, yielding an 11 × 11
array of sampling nodes on each grid. Thaw depth sampling was conducted by
manual probing in four replications at each stake. The four values for each
sampling point are averaged, yielding a maximum of 121 data points per grid per
probing date. Annual heaving/subsidence is measured in
10-15 nodes of the site. Measurements of water content are made annually at
each grid point. The description of vegetation at 40x40 cm sample plots is
performed at each stake.
