Using LI-COR Soil Flux Chambers for Monitoring Trace Gases

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

LI-COR soil CO2 flux chambers (8100-104 Long-Term Chamber and 8100-104C Clear Long-Term Chamber) are designed to be left in the field for extended lengths of time to make unattended flux measurements. Originally designed to be used with the LI-8100A Automated Soil CO2 Flux System for monitoring soil CO2 flux, these chambers can also be operated…

Avoid ‘mass’ confusion with the LI-6400XT

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Gas exchange from the surface of a leaf is typically reported in micromoles of CO2 exchanged per square meter of substrate per second, abbreviated as µmol m-2 s-1. However, users may want to express gas exchange rates on a mass basis, such as µmol kg-1 s-1. The LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System can perform these calculations…

What’s Happening at LI-COR?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

EddyPro Software: LI-COR recently released EddyPro Express, a powerful, easy-to-use software application that computes fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and energy using the eddy covariance method. With just a few clicks, you can process lengthy raw data files! A free download is available here. LEEF Training: A 5-Day training course is being held…
