Long-term observations are presented here from the Boreal Ecosystem Research and Monitoring Sites (BERMS), a network of flux tower research sites located near the southern edge of the Boreal Plains Ecozone in central Saskatchewan, Canada. The four longest running sites, which represent the dominant vegetation types in the Boreal Plains Ecozone, include three mature forest stands of trembling aspen (Old Aspen; OA), black spruce (Old Black Spruce; OBS), and jack pine (Old Jack Pine; OJP), and a minerotrophic patterned fen (Fen). The data reported here include long-term records of a) meteorological variables, including air temperature and humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation; b) vertical profiles of soil temperature and soil volumetric water content; c) radiation flux densities, including net radiation, incoming and outgoing shortwave radiation, incoming and outgoing longwave radiation, and incoming and outgoing photosynthetically active radiation; d) the surface energy balance, including net radiation, soil heat flux, biomass heat storage flux, photosynthetic energy flux and eddy covariance measurements of latent and sensible heat flux densities; and e) eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem production and its partition into gross ecosystem photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration. There are both gap-filled and non-gap-filled datasets included with this submission. Other variables collected from these sites, but are not included in the dataset, can be made available upon request (snow depth, snow temperature, bole temperature, water table depth, water table level).
