  14. FLUX/ATLAS Research Sites Alaska LTER Research Sites IGBP High Latitude Transects The high latitude transects span significant variation in several environmental variables and provide a network for improving our understanding of controls over vegetation dynamics, carbon dynamics and water/energy exchange in high latitudes Objective of studies by High Latitude Transects Working Group: Evaluate how vegetation dynamics, carbon dynamics, and water/energy exchange are related to environmental variation spanned by the network of high latitude transects (McGuire et al., in press) D. McGuire
