Due to equipment malfunction, no computer recordings were taken. AREA 1: Location 1 (below): CO2 Concentration = 680 - 1450 ppm with frequent fluctuations. Plant Species = Poa sp. 20%, Spraguea 10%, grasses without flowers 70%. Soil Temperature = 19 C. pH = 3.5. Location 2: CO2 Concentration = 580-790 ppm. Plant Species = same as above. Soil Temperature = 17 C. pH = 3.5.
Behind Area 1: Location 1 (below): CO2 Concentration = 530 - 830 ppm. Plant Species = Dichanthelium 100%. Soil Temperature = 26 C. pH = 4.0. Location 2: CO2 Concentration = 460 - 530 ppm. Plant Species = Non-thermal Agrostis scabra 100%. Soil Temperature = 20 C. pH = 4.5.
AREA 2: This may be the best location discovered in this survey. The CO2 venting is audible for 50 yds. CO2 Concentration = Greater than 2000 ppm in most places! Plant Species = Juncus sp. (in patches), Eleocharis, Other aquatics without flowers, mosses including Polytrichum. Water Temperature = 18 C. pH = 4.0. Temperature of the spring (below): 54 C. pH = 2.0. VIOLENT CO2 BUBBLING!
AREA 3: CO2 emmissions are centered around the pool/wallow as shown below. Plant Species = sedges without flowers. Soil Temperature = 15 C, pH = 3.0
