Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change Experiment (SPRUCE) at the Marcell Experimental Forest; Itasca County, Minnesota

DOE and the U.S. Forest Service jointly issued final DOE/EA-1764 and a finding of no significant impact for a proposal to study the effects of elevated temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide on a black spruce-Sphagnum ecosystem in the Marcell Experimental Forest in Itasca County, Minnesota. The proposal included climate change manipulation activities, collection of field data, and evaluation of the response of existing biological communities to a range of warming levels.
