Last week, Karolina, Michaela and Albin, went up to Mezyk/Poland to set up the instrumentation for a joint COS/CO2 flux and chlorophyll fluorescence campaign over a Scots Pine forest. The idea of the campaign is to quantify GPP during the “spring awakening” of photosynthesis of this evergreen species and use active and passiv chlorophyll fluorescence to diagnose functioning of the electron transport chain and evaluate the potential of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence as a proxy for GPP.
As mentioned in an early post, Albin and Kathi have set up an eddy covariance flux tower at the shore of Mondsee on the property of the Institute of Limnology in order to conduct CO2 and CH4 flux measurements within the ALCH4 project.
Today Kathi and Albin are decommissioning the EC flux tower that was used to measure fluxes from Lunzer See for the past four years – as you can see weather conditions were less than optimal. The flux tower will now be installed at the shore of the Limnology Institute at Mondsee within the frame of the ALCH4 project.
The data from our longterm flux tower in Neustift (AT-Neu) has obtained a DOI via the FLUXNET 2015 data release: 10.18140/FLX/1440121 .
At present the power line to our upcoming forest flux tower near Obermieming is being established – see pics courtesy of Markus Wörz.
