Radiation data collected to investigate how local climate controls leaf level carbon sequestration of mangroves and how climate controls terpene emission of red mangrove leaves. Method Step Description Radiometers installed at approximately 5 m height in a grass field near the Ranger Station dock. Instrumentation Qrebs net radiometer LiCor LI 190 SA quantum sensors Eppley PSP Pyranometer Infra Red temperature probe Quality Control Dataset is inspected by PI for QA/QC; standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers . Distribution Online distribution: http://fcelter.fiu.edu/perl/public_data_download.pl?datasetid=ST_PP_Barr_001.txt Intellectual Rights These data are classified as 'Type II' whereby original FCE LTER experimental data collected by individual FCE researchers to be released to restricted audiences according to terms specified by the owners of the data. Type II data are considered to be exceptional and should be rare in occurrence. The justification for exceptions must be well documented and approved by the lead PI and Site Data Manager. Some examples of Type II data restrictions may include: locations of rare or endangered species, data that are covered under prior licensing or copyright (e.g., SPOT satellite data), or covered by the Human Subjects Act, Student Dissertation data and those data related to the FCE LTER Program but not funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under LTER grant #DEB-9910514. Researchers that make use of Type II Data may be subject to additional restrictions to protect any applicable commercial or confidentiality interests. All publications based on this dataset must cite the data Contributor, the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program and that this material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation through the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-Term Ecological Research program under Cooperative Agreements #DEB-1237517, #DBI-0620409, and #DEB-9910514. Additionally, two copies of the manuscript must be submitted to the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Program Office, LTER Program Manager, Florida International University, Southeast Environmental Research Center, OE 148, University Park, Miami, Florida 33199.
