Open Top Chambers experimental site in Eriophorum-Sphagnum raised bog community, dry site

An OTC experiment was lauched in Mukhrino FS in 2012. Two cites were installed, in an open lawn Sphagnum community (so called "wet site") and in an Eriophorum-Sphagnum community ("dry site"). In dry site, 6 plots were installed, 3 of them covered by OTC chambers and 3 control plots. An automatic soil and air monitoring complex (APIK) was installed at the site to measure climate parameters.
