Each study plot was 9 m2 marked off by the PVC frame. The plot in the foreground is the natural plot, where soil-snow-air interaction was allowed. The plot in the background is the Tedlar plot, where the soil-snow interaction was blocked but snow-air interaction was permitted. (c) View of the plots from the top of the AmeriFlux Tower with the Tedlar plot as the red box and the natural plot as the yellow box.
