The BOREAS Information System
The southern Old Black Spruce site was equipped with a 25 meter double-scaffold tower (with internal steps) extending 5 m above the forest canopy. Screw anchors for tower foundations and guy-wire anchors had to be drilled into the mineral soil beneath a one-meter deep mat of sphagnum moss. View an aerial photo-map of the SSA-OBS site.
