Data include results from elevated macrotopographic features soil pore-water oxyanion concentrations, soil moisture, and for samples collected from the Barrow Environmental Observatory and the broader Barrow Peninsula near Utqiagvik, Alaska during September 2016 and July 2017. Samples were collected from the top 20 cm of elevated polygonal tundra microtopograpic features including high-centered polygon centers, flat-centered polygon centers, low-centered polygon rims, the outer edges of drain-thaw lake basins (DTLB), and high centered polygons that underwent accelerated drying due to anthropogenic disturbance (ACC-HCP). This dataset is used in Arendt, et.al. In Prep. doi: TBD The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a 10-year research effort (2012-2022) to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy’s Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
