Aspen FACE Harvest Complete The Aspen FACE harvest has been completed! On June 8, 2009, harvest of the experiment began. Crews from the Forest Service, Michigan Technological University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Nevada teamed together to harvest the aboveand below-ground portions of the experiment. All together, well over 25 students and staff from these institutions worked daily on the harvest through mid-August. First, an access lane was cut into each ring. The entire top of each tree measured was taken back to the David F. Karnosky Lab and picked apart and the components weighed. A small tracked excavator and commercial soil sieves were used to recover the coarse roots from volumetric soil pits. Then soil cores were extracted from the walls of the pit face to recover fine roots and study soil carbon. The FACE harvest was a very complex and daunting logistical task, but progress remained on schedule throughout the successful conclusion in August.
