Graduate Students working with the Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS), based at the University of California - Los Angeles, presented research projects at LI-COR's headquarters in December, 2007. The presentations covered a range of topics, including structural equation modeling and soil CO2 flux, above ground canopy CO2 flux, and statistical tree modeling with sensor data. More...

Do you know your leaf, inside and out? LI-COR supports researchers working in the field with the LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System and at the molecular level to discover the complete plant picture. Plant scientists who want to include genetic screening, genetic mapping, SNP detection, or genetic diversity in their research can benefit from the applications available using the LI-COR 4300 DNA Analysis system.

Big Trees Fight Global Warming
The April 14, 2008 Environment News Trust program Assignment Earth for Yahoo! News featured how old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest are being evaluated for their role in curbing global warming. A clip from the program featured the work of Beverly Law, Ph.D., professor of global forest science at Oregon State University and chair of the AmeriFlux Network. The program titled "Big Trees Fight Global Warming" highlighted Law's research and her use of LI-COR instrumentation, including the LI-8100 Automated Soil CO2 Flux System and the LI-COR LI-7500 Open Path CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer.

Learn how a CTCD research team at The University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England is using a multiplexed LI-8100 Automated Soil CO2 Flux System with up to 16 chambers. The team uses innovative 1 µm and 40 µm mesh inside shallow soil collars to separate soil CO2 flux into its autotrophic (roots & mycorrhizas) and heterotrophic (soil) components.
