The Teshio CC-LaG Experiment site (TSE) is located in a conifer-broadleaf mixed forest in the northernmost part of Japan. In order to observe the effects of forestry activities on the carbon, water and materials cycles of forest ecosystems, long-term monitoring of CO2 flux was started in 2001. The trees in the area of 13.7 ha were clear-cut and larch trees were planted in 2003. We monitor and evaluate the changes in forest ecosystem structure and functions along with the growth of larch, and assess the impacts on the process of carbon cycle on a regional scale by applying particular techniques such as the eddy covariance method and remote sensing. This data set includes ecosystem CO2 flux, and sensible and latent heat flux which were measured with eddy covariance methods, and meteorological items, such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and radiation. The meteorological conditions affect plants growth, and they were measured at multiple points of height/depth ranging from 32m height on a flux observation tower to 1.2m depth at forest floor. This dataset is also provided by the AsiaFlux Database (http://asiaflux.net/index.php?page_id=23).

Measurement method
The observations at Teshio CC-LAG Experiment forest (TSE) started in a cool-temperate mixed forest in 2001, then, the forest was clear-cut and larch trees were planted in 2003. The changes in carbon cycle in a forest ecosystem with the growth of larch was monitored for long time with eddy covariance methods.
[Before the clear cut] Open- and closed path NDIR-gas analyzer were used at the height of 32 m, ca. 10 m above canopy surface. For closed-path system, the air was sampled from a inlet at the height of 32m, through a tube of 6m-long, to the gas analyzer.
[After the clear cut] The open-path sensor was set at the height of 4.6 m, which was ca. 4 m above canopy surface (from June to September 2003), and ca. 3 m above canopy surface (in 2006) . In addition, two closed-path NDIR-gas analyzers were used at the height of gas inlet 32 and 4.6 m, which were ca. 30 & 3 m (in 2005) above canopy surface. The flux data were sampled and logged at frequency of 10 Hz.
Calculation method
The CO2 concentration measured by closed-path gas analyzer was calibrated once a day using two standard CO2 gases. The net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 was derived from the sum of the flux measured by EC (F_EC) and the rate of change in column CO2 storage under EC measurement height (Fs). Half-hourly mean F_EC was calculated as the covariance between fluctuations in vertical wind speed and scalar quantity of CO2 concentration. The setting of the quality control applied to the 30-minute value of the turbulent flux is described in the information file attached to this data together with the source. Before clear cut, half-hourly mean Fs was estimated by the relationship between the daily Fs calculated from the profile data and that calculated from the change in the CO2 concentration only at 32 m, obtained in 2002. Estimated daily Fs was divided equally among each 30 min value in the day. After clear cut, Fs was not evaluated.
