Pallas-Kenttarova Primary CryoNet Station Information
The station lies at an elevation of 347m a.s.l on a hill top plateau, 1.4km south of the Matorova station. The hill is ca. 60 m above the surrounding plains. The 20-m high measurement tower is situated in a Norway spruce forest (Hylocomium-Myrtillus type). The mean tree density of the stand is 1050 stems per hectare and the dominant tree height is 13 m. The age of the trees varies from 70 to 160 years. The stand is naturally regenerated, but some forest management has taken place, as most of the downey birch (Betula pubescens) was cut down in 1968-1969. The total leaf area index of 6m^2m^-2 was estimated for the site by using the allmetric functions of Marklund (1987, 1988) and the specific leaf dry-weight information of Steinbrecher et all (1999) determined at the Pallas area.
